no, but if I rub his belly my dog brushes mine

**StraitShooter** · 06-30-11, 12:20 AM

honestly..if its really really bad..Id suggest a trip to the vet for a cleaning..the best way is daily prevention..no..no..dont brush your dogs teeth..but give them plenty of crunchy treats and milk bones..plenty of fresh water and little or no candy

do not ever..under any circumstances give your dog bones from dead animals..absolutely no bones cow or chicken

no bones are safe..especially those that fragment..you risk a intestinal punture or clog with eaqch time you give your dog a bone

yeah they love em..but under no circumstances any bones

chicken bones?..may as well give your dog a crushed up bottle of pepsi

Ive heard its nothing but a pain in the ass. Apparently most dogs get sedated for teeth cleaning because they wont let anyone in their mouth. My gf and I tried to brush her dogs teeth and he hated it, wouldnt stay still and got pissed and snapped at her.

hah, what kind of dog do you have? Sounds like my gf dog....son of a bitch will only eat certain treats and food.

**Gardfather** · 06-30-11, 12:41 AM

Dogs don't live long enough to worry about their teeth, unless you're giving them candy or some other weird shit to eat.

If they need to ever be sedated for medical treatment in the future, have the teeth cleaned then. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about their teeth. If humans only lived 10-15 years, we wouldn't have to worry about brushing our teeth and getting cavities filled.

i got 2 homeless dogs hanging around my front door dont know what is the deal with them but they r friendly could be abandon by owner

**pedro803** · 06-30-11, 08:10 AM

I just try to make sure my dogs eats some crunchy dog food -- I do feed some table scraps, but I make sure that I am keeping the volume on that low enough to where they eat some dog food too -- partly for their teeth, and partly just to make sure I am not overdoing it with the table scraps -- as you can tell my dogs are spoiled

**Balco10** · 06-30-11, 12:59 PM

The average vet charges roughy around $350.

Never give your dog COOKED chicken bones. Raw bones are just fine. In fact, if you give your dog raw bones, you should never have to be concerned with his teeth.

Only before I make out with it

**chargers4222** · 06-30-11, 01:14 PM

you know what they say....you can brush your teeth and you can brush your dog, but you cant brush your dog's teeth

I notice you wrote it rather than her or him -- is there something about your sexual preference you are trying to hide?

**Blax0r** · 06-30-11, 02:10 PM

My wife (mostly) and I brush our dog's teeth a few times a week; we've been doing this since it was a puppy, so the resistance is minimal.

**Cabo** · 06-30-11, 04:19 PM

My dog likes getting his teeth brushed, he likes the tooth paste. Try to brush them 2 times a month.

**babyjesus** · 06-30-11, 06:47 PM

Yeah, you should def brush those puppies. It sounds like he should see a dentist for a pro job. I'd recommend once or twice a month, that'd make you a somewhat responsible pet owner.

feed em..giv em love..15 years and a heartbreak at the end later..they will be gone

**raggman** · 06-30-11, 07:35 PM

yes we do but it's a small house dog.
actually very good for the dog's overall health.

Did I already get my SBR points for the day?

**Br0nxer** · 06-30-11, 07:44 PM

have to get it done by the vet

its pretty expensive

my dog is 15 and just had it done on monday

i hated doing it because he had to be put to sleep and when they are that age its not the greatest thing to do but he came out of it ok

**Stealinhome** · 06-30-11, 08:31 PM

It's very hard to clean a dogs teeth unless you start when they are puppies. If you start early it's all they know. If you feed you dog a good dry food and no wet, and or table scraps, the dogs teeth will be just fine.

**Lion4Life** · 06-30-11, 09:11 PM

No, he puts up a fight just trying to cut his nails. Had it done at the vet two years ago, he's ten now. Should be done at least once during your dogs life time.

at the top right of any page on the forum you will find your current point total underlined -- it says

My Points: 142

or something like that -- if you click on it, it will show a log of when you got all your points and when you spent all your points

so if ever in doubt about whether you have already gotten your points for today, you can just click on that link and it will show how many points you have accumulated today!

**greenfieldtwo** · 06-30-11, 10:36 PM

No, i don't. I dont have a dog. and i want to have one.

**Cuse0323** · 06-30-11, 10:50 PM

I use to try but he's a pain in the ass about it for me. It was my sisters dog and she did it at least once a week when she had him. His teeth are terrible now, had them done by the vet a couple years ago and definitely need to do them again but I think they may be too far gone already.

**shermanator** · 06-30-11, 10:57 PM

Mix some toothpaste with his chow.

**spartangreen** · 07-01-11, 02:45 PM

feed him some apples they are good for cleaning a dogs teeth

jw · 07-01-11, 04:51 PM

.. our dogs are 10 and 9 - we had their teeth done for the first time earlier this year ... cost around $200 per dog to have it done ... the one that eats "dry" dog food didn't have much wrong with her teeth .. the one that eats nothing but canned food had "significant wearing" .. go figure ...

Probably won't put them through it again to be honest .. they were both pitiful when they came home .. took hours for the anesthetic to wear off properly.

**onizuka** · 07-01-11, 10:37 PM

I did brush my dog teeth when it's still puppy, but now not do that again, too difficult to handle.
