Teeth and paws

[Corea99]

Question 1) How do you maintain your bully's choppers?

• Brushing 2-3 times/week?
• Dental chews?
• Pet groomer?
• Combination of ....?

Question 2) If your bully wears socks or shoes, where did you buy them?

Thanks!

I’ve never brushed any of my dogs teeth. Always gave then raw frozen marrow bones to keep the teeth solid n a good sturdy rubber toy to keep teeth white.

When Duke had indigital cyst not too long ago, I already had socks I bought from pet value but a month ago went to buy human baby socks. Same anti-grip under neath and a fraction of the price. 6-1yr old size. His paws are ok now

Why you need socks?

We don't brush teeth, we get moose antlers, marrow bones or nylabones to do the job. I take mine to the groomers at least every 8 weeks for a bath (with the furnimator) and have their nails dremelled. I haven't bought socks for my guys yet... I'm sure they would try to destroy them... Lol

Usually bulldogs don’t need toothbrushing, just give them enough chewing toys - antlers, balls, King toys, ropes, raw apples or carrots etc. If your dog still develops dental stone or other problems, something is wrong, you better ask advice from vet. Anyway, brushing dogs teeth isn’t an easy task.
Socks feel very uncomfortable for dogs, they battle to walk in them, and though it is possible to teach dog to wear them, they hate wearing socks and shoes.

I have 5 dogs, ages 2 to 6 yrs. Their teeth are great and clean. They have a whole toybox of nylabones, and other "indestructable" chews. If they do wear them down, I throw them out and replace them. (the toys-not the dogs!) I just ordered some bison horns-we will see how they are. P.S. be careful with socks-mine would swallow them! Ugh!

Raw marrow bones and nylabones.

I bought 2 buffalo horns a couple years ago. Nyala goes through anything even big solid marrow bones. But the buffalo horns she hasn’t so far. You have hollow ones n ones that are solid inside. Mine are solid. Both still chews on them n Nyala hasn’t broken them. I gave one to my son n his GS broken it. Idk if it’s the way their mouths are designed or what. But they sure love them horns.

I think the GS can get the bones and horns further into their mouth, to use more of their "bite power!"

My guys all four I've had over the years, never had any dental cleaning or work needed.... I give them moose antlers, raw marrow bones and they LOVE to chew on empty water bottles.

paws... no shoes, neither of them will move when i put them on, I use mushers secret to help keep them from cracking or drying out

Thanks for all the feedback. I have brushed Finley’s teeth a few times. He surprisingly handled it really well. I made a game of it & he loves the flavor of the doggie toothpaste. He has no issues. Despite Nyla bones, grooming, etc., the vet recommends it as preventative care.

Finley’s paws are dry & callusing despite Musher’s. The groomer mentioned it at his last appt. Musher’s and socks a bedtime may keep his paws supple. Maybe that’s just how it is.
