Teefer Pics!

Definitely seperate them while they're chewing, if there is any chance of fighting. Either crate them, or keep one in a room with you with the door closed, or one outside. Keep an eye on them while they chew, make sure they aren't chewing too vigorously and remove the bone after 15-20 minutes. A soup bone is the same thing as a knuckle bone. I attached a picture of my dog chewing on one. If you can't find these, femur bones, pork ribs, & beef ribs are also good for chewing.

Bully Sticks can help, not nearly as well as raw bones, but they do. Rawhide rolls are also pretty safe, and can help clean teeth.

One of the biggest reasons I brush my dogs teeth everynight is because about 5 years ago my dog (Tera) died. I miss her so much, she died of jaw cancer, which could have been prevented by brushing teeth. Sadly the cancer was a fast cancer we couldn't stop. Luckily are dog's love it us brushing their teeth, it's like a bedtime snack.
Rip Tera honey.

I don't have an actual picture of my dogs' teeth, but I'll try to get some tomorrow. However, for now, here's a picture that does show Tango's teeth somewhat well - just taken yesterday:



She's been fed kibble for 3 1/2 years (Nutro for most of the time, now she's on California Natural), and she gets a raw bone 2-4 times a week. It's kind of hard to tell how clean or dirty her teeth are from the picture, but I think they look pretty good for a kibble fed dog. like I said, I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow

These are the best pictures I have of Chesters teeth...







Kibble fed for 5 months, he's been on raw for almost 5 months
