Peanut hates to have his teeth brushed too, but I do it anyways
. Also, he just got his teeth cleaned, so since I'm working with perfectly clean teeth, I don't want them to get yucky again.
I bought Petrodex Dental Rinse. You squirt it along their gum line and it's supposed to coat the teeth so food and **** don't get stuck in the teeth. I also got the Petrodex Raw Hide. I usually don't give rawhide, but it's coated with some enzymes that help to clean teeth, and I only give those when I can watch him and I take it away when it starts to get soft enough for him to chew off a chunk of it. And I got this stuff that you add to their drinking water. It says that it changes the ph in their saliva to help keep teeth clean.
I don't know if any of these things work. I haven't used anything yet because he still has stitches in his mouth from his teeth being pulled. It was just so scary for me to have to have him knocked out for teeth cleaning, that I thought maybe I could try to do more to avoid a yearly cleaning.
