Homemade dental sticks :)

Hi all!

The pedgriee dentastix lola gets gives her REALLY bad gas.

Does anyone have any homemake versions??

If not, what can I use to clean her teeth??

raw bones

Agree with Ella they clean their teeth naturally by chewing

as above, chewing is the best IMO

Chewing on raw bones or just chewing in general??

Enzymatic toothpaste

the toothpaste often comes with a brush. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Virbac-Toothpaste-Kit-for-Dogs/dp/B001A2X6VM/ref=sr_1_1?s=outdoors&ie=UTF8&qid=1331062627&sr=1-1

chewing is good yes but need to chew on something hard enough to physically scrape the teeth, dentastix are crap!

Large shinbones with some meat on are good. Dogs usually love the marrow as well. Ask your local butcher for some. Chewing on a nylabone or similar also keeps teeth clean.

Sorry to sound a wimp but I'm scared of giving my pup a raw bone to chew on - I keep hearing horror stories of them splintering etc., Are they safe?

Safe if raw I know what you mean though I only used to give Vin one whilst I was there to supervise   

Stagbar! Zeus loves his, had them since he was a pup.

We use the enzymatic toothpaste now for Rocky, see the link below:

Stagbars are fantastic - they last for months too

Raw carrots are supposed to be good for dog teeth.

Tried carrots - he takes them but just chews em & spits the bits out all over the place lol
