I'm afraid I'm not as good as spidey taking care of my dogs...but I do brush my dogs teeth at least once a week. I use Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste...and just a soft human toothbrush. It's true, raw bones do wear the teeth down and there is a chance of cracking a tooth or chipping one....but I do allow them to work on raw femur and knuckle bones. Once they have stripped most of the meat and good stuff off, I take them away. I also take them away after a day , because they get brittle. I do NOT have power chewers...they know when they've had enough. They also get bully sticks and raw chicken backs, as well as pork necks,etc. to chew on.

They both have beautiful teeth and have never needed any dental cleaning. China just had her senior wellness check-up, and at 10 years of age, the vet could not get over how good her teeth are...though they are showing some wear and have a few chips. Baxter's teeth are also white and perfect and he is 4.

The dental formula food, does have awful ingredients....and the dogs that I have boarding that are on it, have HUGE poops and honestly their teeth are not all that great. Brushing is much better for them then eating that corn laden crap. IMO.
