I embarked on a program to improve my foster boys' dental health about 6 weeks ago. I am now using CET or Petrodex dental chews and toothpaste .. and PlaqueOff dentrifice in their food once a day. Not everyone eats the chews, but EVERYONE gets the plaque treatment and the TP.
I wasn't able to really examine everyones teeth, but I knew Archie had some periodontal disease. The vet had recommended a cleaning and some antibios.
At least two other guys had really, really bad breath! Jakie likes to kiss me on my face... uuuggghhhh!!!
Well, I am happy to report there has definitely been an improvement .... Both Ghost and Jake's breath are much better... Archie's gums don't look as red.
Ghost may need a cleaning soon, too, b/c I did get a look at the back teeth.. the jaggedy ones just behind the fangs have a lot of build up on them - yellow - like yellow barnacles... I was able to pick off a little bit with my fingernail... so maybe the PlaqueOff is softening it up.
They sure don't like getting the paste/gel on their teeth. Too bad!!
