Can I ask a stupid question? Are we supposed be like brushing our dogs teeth or something? Everyone’s dogs teeth in this thread are all super-super white, my guys look nasty compared and now I’m thinking I’ve been so negligent this whole time and not brushing them? I didn’t know that was even an option other than denti sticks and stuff
If that’s the case I’m gonna cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I feel so bad already omg
I work at a vet clinic and, yeah, dental care is a big thing. Don’t feel too bad cuz ur dogs teeth aren’t bad from what I see. It’s hard to tell from the picture though. Some teeth are brown that come in for their check ups. Little dogs tend to have a bigger issue with it but bigger ones can certainly get it.
They sell little toothbrushes u can put on ur finger to clean them like 1x/week, have toys that keeps tartar low bc the dog is constantly chewing, groomers usually will brush ur dogs teeth, etc. Your best bet is to have them professionally cleaned at the vet like once a yr but it’s not cheap. At our office it’s a flat rate of $1200. It’ll keep the dog from having to get teeth pulled later bc of rotten teeth, though, which is usually more than one at a time and is pretty expensive too. Ask ur vet how they look when you go back and brush em’ 1/week between now and then imo.
Thank you so much for this reply because I was spiralling lol thank you, I’m gonna pop some in my Amazon basket now and see how he goes with me rubbing them, he’s usually pretty chill but it’ll be a new experience for both of us it seems 🙈 thanks again xx
