I almost forgot to say Mercedes went for her shots yesterday... She weighs 100 lbs... I guess thats how big she's gonna get... Small for a dane.... but I guess some ppl would think thats big... The vet said she's in great condition except some plaque on her teeth... I brush them 2... The vet said to try some type of bone any suggestions??
:eek: She weighs more than my 3 put together!Quote:

I'm glad her shots went fine and she's in great condition. You can get dental bones designed especially for helping prevent plaque - I don't know any particular brands but you should be able to get them at most pet stores. :)
you can get DentaBones,and those chewing bones like ComedyDevil suggested,but i heard the Dentabones are good for getting rid of plaque!
i'm glad she got a clean bill of health.:D as for the teeth cleaning. i would suggest getting greenies. they are made for cleaning teeth and dogs think they tase great. they aren't all that cheap though.
yeah I saw those green things they are expensive, but I guess it's worht it.. I will get some tomorrow!
Not everyone's comfortable with this but raw bones are both cheap and natural tooth brushes! :D We get raw beef bones for free from our butcher. I've brushed Kai's teeth once or twice in his entire life but he has amazing teeth cause of the bones. :)
My 3 put together is about 93-95 pounds, So I guess same with us!!Quote:

Glad everything is fine! My pups always have milkbones, and dentabones/dentastix
Goodie for Mercedes!!! Glad things went well for you! Hope those shots didn't create too many ouchies!! But I bet a big girl like you handled it like a champ! :D And don't you worry about being "small"...we think you're just perfect!
RB Max chewed on Bleached White Cow Bones. He loved them & his teeth were in great shape for a 9 1/2 year old dog, thats what his vet said anyway.

I give mine DentaBones, they LOVE them, and I think they work well!!
But they make a mess in the house. So they only get them out in the yard!!
Raw carrots,, raw veggies are good for plaque and good for them too..... apples are nice too...
