[nagdu] Dental bones

[Tami Jarvis]

Tracy,

I use a product that I just sprinkle over the dog's food on a regular 
basis that works wonders. It's called Denta-Treat by Wysong, and it's 
powdered cheese enzymes. Spendy, with two dogs. But I was really sold 
when we tried it with Daisy when she was into double digits... Her teeth 
were pure white in under a week. So it works there! I also like it 
because Ms. Finicky Poodle will dig in more enthusiastically if I put 
something on her food to make it more special. /smile/

I've also used Greenies and the like, which are nice for fresh breath, 
but expensive. Some have seemed to do more for the teeth than others. 
Those seem to be the ones that are most expensive.

Hm... I use Zuke's minis as training treats, since they are low cal,
but I've never checked out their dental bones. I might try them when 
next I can spring for such luxuries. Mitzi seems not to usually have 
super dog breath, but... I do like having a supply on hand, along with 
chewing gum for me, for when it's needed.
