We had Buddy from 6 weeks old until he died of kidney failure at 2 1/2. His teeth were in great shape and never cleaned. We got Ellie when she was 2 and she’d spent the second year of her life in a shelter. Her teeth are great. Stretch we got when she was 6 from my SIL and her teeth are aweful. My SIL had a poodle that was almost toothless when she died and her chihuahua has the worse breath you’d evern been around. We’re wondering if it’s something in the food she would feed them or all the table scraps they got since it seems funny that 3 dogs that were raised together all have bad teeth.
need cleaning more often, or so my vet says. But I’m delinquent in brushing them so it’s really my fault I have to get them cleaned. My lab. which is the only ‘big’ dog I’ve ever had, never needed cleaning and his teeth were as white as can be, not a spot of tartar. Go figure! I have found though that the large rawhide bones really help to keep them clean.
And I’ll NEVER, EVER give them ‘Greenies’ again. They get down to the ‘brush’ part and every single time, without fail, they try to swallow the whole thing and choke on it. Those things ought to be outlawed, particularly for little dogs.
