Do you brush your dogs teeth?

Nope, I give him lots of RMBs.

Me too. Much easier then struggling with your dog and forcing them into something they dont want to do when you could eaily throw them a bone and they will be happy.

Not every dog "struggles" with this, Nebo loves having his teeth brushed. If he just sees the toothbrush he comes running. There is no struggling or forcing involved, he enjoys it.

I brush dogs teeth all the time at work, very few give me any trouble about it. Usually dogs only have a problem with it if they have sore teeth and gums because of lack of dental care or they just aren't used to it.

I've never even tried. But Nebo, you've given me hope! Maybe I'll brave those mouthfuls of teeth & give it a try, Sherman's "fish breath" can be pretty overpowering sometimes.
I do give them raw chicken with bones occasionally to clean their teeth. Last trip to the vets, he told me Star has cracked several teeth chewing on something & suggested I don't give her any more bones. Hmmm, I thought chicken bones were soft enough, no? I usedd to gve them those large smoked beef bones once in while, maybe she cracked her teeth on those?
