Bugger. Looks like a vet teeth cleaning it is then. I hoped at least the groomers did somewhat of a more thorough job.
I don't think his teeth are that bad yet, I haven't seen him ever show any discomfort with eating or anything like that, so I suppose we have some time to work it into our budget. I know waiting too long is just going to get worse, because then he will most likely end up having to have teeth pulled and whatnot and that can't be cheap or very pleasant for him.
I do brush his teeth but I suppose it hasn't been good enough since plaque has still managed to build upI'm guessing one of the main reasons is that he simply does not like to chew things. Tiki went through at least half of her life without me ever brushing her teeth (because I just didn't know that that's something you do
) and still her teeth looked better at age 12 than his do now and that was probably because she loved rawhides and anything she could chew. Taggart just doesn't have the attention span to chew on things for more than a few minutes... silly dog.
