Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Try giving them some marrow bones and see if that helps. My female Dalmatian had TERRIBLE tartar on her teeth! I started giving her the bones and boy have they started cleaning up! Still not perfect, but a lot better than what they were. Plus it's cheaper then a dental cleaning! Smile

For most dental cleanings, dogs are put under. There are some places that advertise dental cleaning without having to put them under but I'm not sure what the includes or how your pet's teeth would be cleaned or if it would be as thorough of a cleaning compared to when they put your pet under.

I had Ginger's teeth cleaned once and that was it. She is prone to tartar build up so we do have to brush her teeth at least once or twice a week. We've had her almost 2 years and we are managing to maintain her teeth from being cleaned again (which I prefer not to do for a few reasons: cost and having her put under).

We maintain both Ginger's and Storm's dental health with Zuke's Z Bones every morning, and at least one bone a week (raw marrow bone, smoked beef jerkey marrow bone or himalayan chew).

If your pet has tartar build up, brushing alone may not get it off. Try PetzLife - it does help with getting tartar off but you have to be diligent about using it.

When looking for a toothpaste, make sure you find one that is an enzyme toothpaste - mixed with their saliva, it'll help break down the plaque that will turn into tartar when it hardens. I found a beef flavored one that Ginger and Storm likes a lot so they think they're getting a treat.

What a teeth cleaning really does it clean all the bacteria under the gumline, which is the most important area. Removing the tartar is somewhat cosmetic. How do her gums look? If there is a red line where the gums meet the teeth then she possibly has some gingivitis and/or periodontal disease, then a teeth cleaning might be a proactive option. If her gums still look somewhat healthy, I'd start bushing them daily (or twice daily) and see how it goes. I brush Kale's teeth every morning with PetZLife gel (the mint one lol). He has a little bit of tartar buildup on his 4th premolars but his gums look great so I'm not worrying.
