Dental Care

How are some of the ways some of you approach this? I want to maintain a healthy dental routine, but a toothbrush does not always work. Suggestion's welcome as well as product suggestions please. Thank You

I give a raw marrow bone once a week

have you tried one of those finger toothbrushes? they worked better for my dog than a regular toothbrush, but it still took some getting used to. might be worth a shot if you havent already!

I’ve never used any toothbrush on any of my lifetime owning dogs.

Only used n still raw marrow bones. Also a solid “rubber” toy like Kong, helps remove plaque. Also raw chicken, turkey wings/neck clean in between the teeth. If wings/neck are too big, cut in pieces.

Thank you for your response. Bones is all I ever used for my Pitties. Just wasn't sure with the Bulldogs jaws, teeth if there was any other specific type of approach. Thanks again.

Well last yr I’ve butchered some cows for our n kids freezers. Kept all them bones for the dogs in the family. My sons don’t have EB’s so yes any kind of bones is fine for them. But like you mentioned, I don’t give just any bones to my 2 EB. Only them marrow bones n long ribs. Never anything that has joints/kneecaps etc. crumbles stools n Jake one yr he swallowed a hidden piece behind a chunk of meat. Steep vet bill.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Good catch Helene… I totally forgot about not give joint bones—- what a mess they are
