I brush my dogs' teeth every day with dog toothpaste. My vet was
recommending the kind she uses, so I looked it up. Big mistake, because all
the toothpaste ingredients in both hers and mine sound terrible.
The first in both is sorbitol, which I thought was toxic to dogs. After
that come a bunch of chemicals, like sodium benzo-something. Benzo doesn't
sound good, either.
Anyone know a more natural toothpaste? I guess I could make some with
baking soda, but dog toothpaste is supposed to have enzymes to clean their
teeth. And, despite the bad-sounding ingredients, I've used the stuff for
years and it doesn't seem to have caused a problem. But how do I know?
Anyway, any thoughts?
