Over the course of several days of his eating the thing, it flaked off nearly all that was there. He's only had his teeth cleaned once before, and is definitely due for another cleaning. I want to make sure he has big, strong teeth for as long as possible. It is a bit frustrating to have a dog that prefers one side over the other. Ironically, before Ebon's last cleaning he preferred to chew on the other side. Silly dog. <br /><br />M.C, that's quite interesting. I just read your post on Bowpi's experiences with raw. I'm of course no expert, but I wonder if the reason she has more issues with tartar is partly due to her refusal to eat anything other than poultry and fish. Poultry, being birds of course, have very light bone due to the modifications needed for flight. There's a lot of empty space where mammals have far denser bone, so it's possible that's why there hasn't been as much tartar reduction as in Bowdu. It is also quite possible that Bowdu just naturaly has better teeth. My mom's cats are about the same age and are both fed the same diet and one (Ginny) has brilliant teeth and the other (Albus) has had dental issues for years. However, yes I agree that canned food is even worse for teeth than kibble. There's really no chewing involved at all!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840844954903338887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010409378436372090.post-18531745221861996932012-01-21T14:58:25.602-05:002012-01-21T14:58:25.602-05:00A very sensible and informative post! Thanks for y...A very sensible and informative post! Thanks for your perspective.<br /><br />To be honest, while I never believed that harder food *alone* would wipe out tartar completely, I still want to think there's a difference between a dog that is fed predominantly wet food, and never had their teeth brushed (as Bowpi was before), versus a dog that is fed a variety of harder foods. But now I'm realizing that there are many other factors at play here too. <br /><br />Both my dogs have equivalent diets in terms of raw, kibble, and soft foods. While the Shiba handles harder bones with greater expertise, the Basenji gets her fair share of raw poultry bones as well (which she gnaws quite thoroughly, so it sure seems like they're doing their job). I barely do any maintenance on Bowdu's teeth and they look *great*. Bowpi gets her teeth brushed, and she also got a full dental last February... but the tartar is back. It's a little disheartening. I blame her sighthoundly mouth shape and my own slack for not keeping up with her toothbrushing regimen. She sure is squirmy though.M.C.http://shibasenji.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010409378436372090.post-56348118397809527572012-01-21T13:21:46.425-05:002012-01-21T13:21:46.425-05:00Juneau busted her left carnassial tooth on somethi...Juneau busted her left carnassial tooth on something, and when we had it extracted we also had her teeth cleaned. Juneau's teeth looked very similar to Ebon's and she's also been fed kibble her whole life but I don't think she really needed that cleaning.<br />Sasha though, she's the one who needs a teeth cleaning. Her teeth were very very nasty when I moved back in but I was able to get rid of more than half of the tartar buildup with weekly rib bones or turkey backs and adding something called PlaqueOff to her food every day. <br />Since I doubt she's going to go in for a cleaning anytime this year, I'm probably going to go back to that routine and add in some brushing to see how good I can get her teeth.<br /><br />Conker's one of them rawfed dogs (mainly, right now I've got some Honest Kitchen he gets) and his teeth look pretty nice. He's definitely biased towards chewing on one side of his mouth though, since there is a bit of plaque on a couple of his teeth but not on the same teeth on the other side.Losechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408322723918302614noreply@blogger.com
