[NAGDU] Toothpaste

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

I give my dog occasional brush treats. The current ones that he favors are 
the ark naturals brushless treats. They are made of natural ingredients, 
clove, cinnamon, and a few other things I can't remember but which are safe 
for the dogs. If you give them too many, in fact what the brand recommends, 
your dog could gain weight. So I don't do one or two every day. Instead, my 
dog gets one or two per week and he does not suffer from too much, what we 
call, beh-lal breath.
