I neep some tips on getting my dogs teeth white? They are 2 shepherds. There diet is part raw and kibble(Royal Canin). I tried milk bones but that packs on there back theeth, I tried brushing them but that does not soom to do the trick. Is there a product that REALLY works? Also they tend lay down to eat and chew every kibble unlike my friends dog where they just inhale there food. Could that be the problem? Minn

People like to have there teeth brite white, especially celebrities. Actually my teeth are yellow - brownish in color and I could go to the DDS and have them whitened, but to me having healthy gingiva,(gums) and free of decay is most important to me. Most people do not have brite white teeth, it is actually unnatural to have perfectly white teeth. With that said, check your dogs gingiva, and if it is not puffy, inflamed or red in color it is healthy. If you see caked on material called calculus, tarder, etc. Dogs sometimes have this buildup yet the gingiva is still healthy. But Haveing there teeth cleaned professionally first (if there is a build up). I used to scale my doberman's teeth and he never had his teeth cleaned (Professinally) in his life time. But before you attempt to scale any ones teeth you must learn how to use a fulcrum, to stabilize your fingers so you will not slip and cut your dogs gingiva.
