Bridgette, that is if the dog actually chews her food Cassie, my pug, takes the food into her mouth and swallows it without her teeth touching the food

And a GREAT thing for getting teeth cleaned is either taking her to the vet for a professional teeth cleaning, and then brushing her teeth on a regular basis to prevent them from getting bad again, or buy a raw beef bone from the grocery store, don't cook it, and give it to Sadie outside. Chances are she will work on that bone for hours, the bone will not splinter as long as you don't cook it at all, and it is very healthy. I gave Graham and Cassie one yesterday and I am amazed at the shine coming off of Grahams teeth now. It's amazing. He kept himself occcupied for aproximately 4 hours on the bone, he slowly broke off little teeny bites and ate them, and now his teeth are completely free of plaque.

Alot of people recomend B.A.R.F. diet (Bones And Raw Food) so I know it is healthy, as long as the bone is fresh and uncooked when given to the dog.

I am going to try giving a raw beef soup bone to Graham every week to keep his teeth clean.
