Do you brush your dogs teeth?

[binka_nugget]

I actually heard that RMB's are bad because they are so hard that they can damage teeth, so I've stopped feeding them. There was a discussion about them on the Border Collie Rescue board I asked you to join when you started fostering Kuri.

Oh haha.. my bad. I check the board regularly but I usually only go into the Canada rescue section.

RMB's are raw meaty bones. I don't give beef bones regularly for a couple reasons.. I always supervise my dogs when they get bones. I can't be bothered to watch 3 dogs chew on bones for more than a couple minutes. I also don't give them because I'm afraid of one of them chipping a tooth. I'm not too worried about Kai but Kaedyn already had damage done to his teeth before coming here, and Kuri will absolutely damage his teeth if I let him. They get chicken and turkey bones almost daily though. They break down very easily, the dogs LOVE chewing on them, and I don't have to brush their teeth anymore!

Yes, I'm obsessive about Nebo's teeth, they are brushed either daily or several times per week depending on how busy I am.

I tried with Lacey when she was a pup, forget it. I am brushing Laylas teeth each weekend when we do the ear cleaning, nail trimming routine. She doesn't seem to mind...yet.

Brush Lady's teeth?

No thanks, I prefer to keep all my fingers attached to my hands!

I tried to brush them !... once. Her teeth aren't that bad anymore, Nutro did an AMAZING job.

Whenever I remember to which is usually about twice a month.

Nope, not anymore. They get RMBs instead and it works much better. If I do see some plaque on their teeth, I'll try and get it off with a tooth brush but that's as far as my dogs' teeth brushing goes. However, before my dogs started getting RMBs, I brushed their teeth three times a week.

Nope, I give him lots of RMBs.
