Tooth cleaning for my dog…

I wouldn't give molly chicken wings either, much to squimish.

You can get them on the internet, or Google them to see if you have a shop /market stall near you. I get my from Newport, they are a bit pricey but cheaper and nicer than a clean 🤗

Thanks. I’ll try that. Where do you get them from? Annoyingly I went to a dog rescue fundraiser yesterday and I bet they were selling them there. I know her breeder recommends raw chicken wings but I can’t bring myself to risk them.

Oh and she loves them , they last ages. Hope this is helpful.

I'm a greyhound owner, shes my first, when I adoted her I was warned how notoriously bad greys teeth and gums are, and to brush her teeth daily,which i did. Her teeth were ok but not particularly zingy white. Met another greyhound owner out on a walk , his dog was older than mine with the most fabulous white teeth , he advised ostrich bones , they crumble not splinter. Molly now has plaque free zingy white teeth 😀

I did go to another practice when I had her but returned to them because I didn’t like the one I’d switched to ( my puppy had diarrhoea and when I asked for an appointment for the following day the receptionist told me I had to bring her in that day: I pointed out that I’d had no sleep and wasn’t safe to drive and that I’d just had my windows and door painted and couldn’t leave the house as the paint hadn’t dried but she still said I had to bring her in that day). I do think sometimes it’s a bit hit and miss that the vet you see recognises a problem. I had a dog that had intermittent lameness and it was ages before a new vet recognised it as a corn because she’d seen the problem in another dog at another practice she’d worked at.

My vet told me my dog would need her teeth cleaning the following year, but then said it would be entirely cosmetic. This year I took her and she ended up with twelve teeth being taken out at vast expense!

Have you considered visiting another veterinary practice? Second opinion may be worthwhile - who knows may save you money too !
