Have any dog owners on here tried the powders/liquid that you put into their drinking bowls? Or any suggestions on keeping teeth clean, so called dental chews just get swallowed and are high calorie and while antlers are good, vet described them as molar crackers
Brushing yes but with 6 dogs here it’s never ending
What works for your dogs please?
 
I'd love to know the answer to this! We do Plaque Off but not sure how much it's really helping. Also regular brushing but she still lost her bottom front teeth before the age of 6 (* crying in greyhound owner *)

Apparently fish skin (possibly ostrich skin too which I think is supposed to be lower calorie) is good for teeth because of the scales, but I don't know about that because we bought a big pack of fish skin thingys and the hound was not interested :rolleyes:
 
Canident rather than plaque off, logic enzymatic toothpaste (if I haven’t time to brush, I swipe a bit round with a finger) and leg tendon chews when he was younger. He’s 16, mostly whippet and has only had one dental and currently has all his teeth!
 
I use Canident on my mainly a whippet lurcher. His teeth were shocking a couple of years ago and he had a dental to descale, the Canident is keeping them a lot better. Pup will go into it too once she’s teethed.

I pour a bit of warm water on his kibble and sprinkle it on top.
 
I think I have tried everything but the most successful by far are the raw carrots our greyhound demands after every meal. He is the first dog I have had who begs for vegetables every time I prepare a meal.
 
My greyhound gets canident and tripe sticks. He has remarkably good teeth for a greyhound.

Edited as I think that canident on its own does only half a job and something with a little bit of scrape to eat is also needed to keep the teeth clean.
