Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Have you checked with vets or pet groomers in your area? If your dog is small, check online and see if you can find safe and gentle cleaning methods to do at home.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 from my three months as a vet tech a good dental cleaning includes probing and scaling of the teeth which can only be done under anesthesia (no way would an awake dog go for that)... if your dogs teeth aren't that bad brushing should take care of things. --- MaryAnne Crites <suzyq_26201 wrote: > Have you checked with vets or pet groomers in your > area?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 How do you brush a dog's teeth without getting your arm bit off? I tried it on one of our dog's last year. she clamped down and I could not open her mouth to brush. Do I use a " come along " to do it?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 My dogs teeth are very bad, lots of plaque, red puffy gums. I found a holistic vet who does it, actually a " dental hygienist " comes in to do it without anesthesia. I can't imagine doing a full cleaning but maybe just scraping the plaque off would help and then I can try brushing. They only charge 190.00 for it!! (can u believe that) PLUS your animal has to be seen by their vet for a visit before the teeth can get done. And that visit is 125.00.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 This is precisely why I asked about brushing dog's teeth. Our dog had bleeding gums and would not eat a year ago. We took her to a vet and they told us she would have to have her teeth extracted and it would have been a few hundred dollars. I got some herbs and gave them to her. After they were used up I gave her different herbs and garlic powder and she has been fine although she probably still needs her teeth brushed. She won't let me do it.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 The best way to keep a dogs teeth clean is to feed them raw meat. We feed raw chickens and pork products. Turkeys etc.there teeth remain clean by biting into chunks of meat.I know this vegetarian list and I am a veg head, but it has cut my vet bills to nothing and there flea problem is non existent. I have field golden retrievers who eat 12 ounces of food every day. More than enough energy to run hard all day. questions? concerns email me if you would like. thanks Calvin Weeks greatyoga wrote: > How do you brush a dog's teeth without getting your arm bit off?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Calvin I understand that dogs and especially cats digestive systems are geared for eating meat. I have no problem feeding animals meat. My problem is finding an economical source. I go to the store and even the cheap meat is much more than veggie stuff. Where do you get yours?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 If you cover her nostrils for just a second she should let up. If you have an enzymatic toothpaste it usually works to break up the plaque if you can just get it into her mouth. This is usually what you have to do with cats, just get it in their mouths. whit --- greatyoga <greatyoga wrote: > How do you brush a dog's teeth without getting your > arm bit off?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I just spent $800 on a crown so if you compare the price to that it isn't too bad.
