Dog's Teeth

Pip, I bought 2 thick sausage like 'play chews' many years ago & they're still ok now, rough looking but serviceable. They have short knobby/pointy bits on them, within the knobby bits I spoon in rough peanut butter, a light spread, because they can't lick it all off they happily chew it. I believe they're from the 'Kong' makers. Not cheap but I still use them. Luckily the Dentastix last my 2 about 3mins so they can be used too.

Thanks Rocky - I have seen a Kong type - probably a good investment - the bill yesterday was £200 and anxiety was high as she is epileptic but the smell had become too bad - not only unpleasant but it can't have been healthy either.

We use fresh bones from the butcher. A natural way to keep her teeth lovely and clean

Pip, have you tried the charcoal biscuits from pet stores. My old Retriever suffered from bad breath & the fact She was a 'licker' of faces it was noticed. The Vet suggested the charcoal biscuits, they were good for Her. I now include them for my 2 as well. Dry hard biscuits plus it increases their water intake-always a good thing

Thanks everyone - I will look for Charcoal biscuits too and possibly Asda Dentastix. 

Have you seen my post on Asda Dentastix?

Just had the same issue with one of  ours (7 year old Border Collie,£256 bill) Our Vet a Collie owner himself, has told us Dentistix only work on the back teeth, for the front teeth raw marrow bones as already stated, but take the bone away when they start to crunch it.

Pippah, you can get Dentastix in any supermarket/pet shop. They're not an Asda special.

Pip, have you considered raw peeled carrots? Alfie has one most days, ok he is only eleven months old, but the vet said a week ago (on his twice yearly once over) that his teeth were in excellent condition, I mentioned the carrots and she said they were v.good for dogs and may help to keep his teeth clean. Hope this helps.....
