| Overall oral health?
So I took Thor to the vet today for a nueter and a small lump removal. He's a little young for the neuter still, (10 1/2 months) but I wanted the lump removed and sent away asap, so in he went.
The thing is, I ALWAYS get compliments on how white Thor's teeth are, but the vet included a sample bag of prescription diet dental formula. Ingredients in order are Brewer's rice, corn, chicken by-product meal. I didn't need to read any further....GAHHH!!! Why must they push this sh*t? I know, I know, they're selling. I told the doctor that I didn't believe in feeding corn and by-products, but still!
Anyways, question for the day. What does everybody do for thier dog's oral health? The vet said bones can cause broken teeth, and that he'd rather they were boiled to prevent salmonella etc. Doesn't that make them brittle?? Now I've read a bit on here, so I know plenty of people feed raw femur bones to help with teeth, and I have as well so far. Geez, I struggle with telling the vets that they're wrong. *sigh*
What about teeth brushing? Suggested brands of product to use?
Sorry guys, I thought I had the teeth stuff under control, but any advice would be appreciated.  |
