Just give your dog a large raw beef rib twice a week and let it clean it's own damn teeth the way nature intended. Raw not cooked.
Because she's only 3 and I don't want her to start losing teeth. Not sure what the deal is but I've never had a dog this young who's teeth weren't still very white.Idk.. maybe it's just me.. but who gives a if the dog has tartar

I hate dogs. They stink, poop, tear up the house, and are like perennial 1 year old children except a whole lot hairier and smellier. And as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to them. So....
What is the "healthy crunchy food" you're feeding?
Canidae something or other.
ah...just another stab in your back from life. You're probably not allergic to them but you've already planned what you're going to say to your unhappy wife and child when they want to get a dog.
Regular Canidae is a middle of the road food. Their grain free version is better but both are overpriced for what you're getting imo. Look it up on dogfoodadvisor.com.
Anyway, give her raw meaty beef ribs to work on (outdoors). It keeps their teeth nice and clean.
I'll look it up. We were giving them Nutro something or other but the feed store told my wife that Canidae was basically the same but cheaper. In any event, I don't know that another brand would do anything different for her teeth. We feed the same to our 8 year old and his are fine.
I will try the beef ribs though. Thanks.
As a kid I'd pet the neighbors', friends' and relatives' dogs and always sneeze all over the place. So, pretty sure I am.
You're probably allergic to people. It makes sense.
Didn't sneeze the last time I made out with a girl, which was 13 evenings ago. So no
Did you deflate her when you were done? Or just shove it in the closet?
you just thought it was a girl.
I don't want to know what Tom Brady does to Giselle in his spare time
Don't give your dog beef ribs. Not only can they break teeth, they're likely to fracture and either become a gastrointestinal obstruction or possibly even lacerate internal organs. Brush the teeth or use rawhides with enzymatic cleaners.
Edit: Also once had to bring my dog (different one) in for pancrea is from giving her beef scraps. High fat items like that can cause pancrea is.
After just one time?
The pancrea is issue
Yeah as far as I know. Vet said they see a lot of pancrea is cases during the holidays because people feed their dogs table scraps, usually the fatty pieces or gristle.
Hmm. Hadn't heard that. I rarely give them people food. Other than a chip or piece of cookie here or there. I hadn't seen the rawhide with enzymes before. Might give that a because brushing her teeth is .
Dogs are security, you're an idiot per usual.
Gui ude getting ethered as per the par
Our dog's vets have recommended brushing if possible but basically always say that having plenty of fresh clean water available at all times is the best way for dogs to clean their teeth. I don't brush them but have always done those $400 cleanings as needed. Also large dogs tend to need it less as small dogs are more prone to tooth decay. My dobie is 13yo and has only needed it one time, last year. My chihuahua is 10 yo and she has been needing it yearly for about the last 5yrs. My italian greyhound is 5 and has never needed it. I figure when I adopted them I committed to care for them for life, so I do whatever my vet recommends at their annual checkup---and as you can see from my dogs, it's not something that they push on me unnecessarily.
ing vets. We used to go to one of these VCA associated vets because it was right by our house. I had a 16 year old mix in pretty good shape. Every time I went in there, they recommended a damn liver and kidney panel for about $500. They would try and guilt me into that. She was ing 16. It's almost criminal what they do. Because I guarantee that they preyed upon plenty of old ladies and cat people to pay that. We finally found and old school vet farther away but not trying to rape his clients. Don't get me wrong, our animals are part of the family. But for a 16 year old, is a liver panel going to dictate that I should have a dog liver transplant? Wtf.
But as to the current situation, I may spend $400 one more time and then keep up with better maintenance.
Our dog is very calm and it was never a problem to brush Astra's teeth. The only thing that bothered us is that sometimes she chews the toothbrush. Plastic pieces are very harmful so we found a bamboo toothbrush as an alternative. It's definitely better than plastic.
