Zoee goes to the groomer on a regular (sort of) basis. And a couple times they have told me she needs to see a vet to have her teeth cleaned. I asked the vet about it and they did a scraping of her teeth, which was cheaper and without anesthesia. But if Taggart won't let someone else touch him like that then it probably would be best to get it done while he's under. I'm waiting for Zoee to have to go under for something else and I'll have them do a teeth cleaning at the same time. Unless her teeth get really bad, of course. And we are avoiding surgery on her leg right now too. So hopefully she won't have to go under for anything anytime soon.
My Taggart has the cleanest teeth I've seen on an adult dog, then again I don't go around checking dogs teeth. And they've never been cleaned, that I know of. I do give them carrots on a daily basis. That might help with some of the build up. ??
