RMB Day and Sasha's Teeth and Progress

Today was a RMB day!  The dogs were all given a taste test of something I'll write about tomorrow, then after my shower they were taken into the backyard and given some bones to chew on.  

Sasha got a beef rib.  And it looks like autumn in this picture.  It's actually still very green here.

See the green?  Juneau got a beef rib as as well, and figured out after about 20 minutes that the sun was hot so she relocated to the shade.

Conker got some sort of pork bone, shoulder I think, and stayed next to the pool.  He was halfway in the sun and half in the shade.  He ate the entire thing.


Now the Sasha stuff.
I skimped last Friday on Sasha's teeth update.  Completely forgot, so you get it today.

It's now been some 42 days or 6 weeks since I began adding PlaqueOff to the dog's food. 
 
Here is the before shot of Sasha's teeth.

Click to see the large buildup of tartar/plaque on the carnassial teeth and molars.

 And here is after 6 weeks of using PlaqueOff.

No buildup on carnassials or molars.

 A couple closeups.

Carnassial and molars. 

Canine and incisors.

The redness around the gumline on some of Sasha's teeth is from chewing on her beef rib.  I try not to take pictures just after giving the dogs chews but I didn't want to wait today and took them anyways.
Juneau's teeth are, again, unable to be shown but still look better than Sasha's.

I still can't get the buildup off the canines, but everything else looks awesome.  Keep in mind that without the bones I have been giving the dogs, the buildup would have taken a LOT longer to come off with just the PlaqueOff supplement.  The bones acts as aggressive toothbrushes, and I will continue to give bones every two weeks or less.  I don't know if I will buy another container of PlaqueOff when mine runs out if the teeth stay clean, but if the buildup begins to come back I will.


Now Sasha's weight.

Sasha has been on a strict diet since May when I switched them to Taste of the Wild.  She dropped down from 70 to 50 pounds!  She now weighs only slightly more than Juneau who is also taller but much, much leaner.  Sasha is a shorter stocky dog.  Anywho, she gets about 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of kibble a day and has been maintaining her weight of 50 pounds for a couple weeks, so I guess that is a good amount for her. 

Here is a before shot of Sasha.

And after.

Again it's a terrible picture, I tried, but my camera is shit.  Anyways, you can see the tuck Sasha has now when in the before picture she has barely any.  She really does look a ton better now that she's down to a healthy weight.  She is also a lot more active even when I am not encouraging her to play.  That is nice.

Now that their teeth are great and Sasha's weight is down, I wonder what the Vet will say next time they are taken in.  Mom told me she got an earful about the Girl's teeth and Sasha's fatness on their most recent visit last year in November.  I hope the Vet will be satisfied with them now that I've had a change to correct the problems.
