Took Juneau into the vet today. Her mouth is looking good, healing up nicely. There's a couple sutures still left but they will dissolve soon, in a week or so.
I was given some dog toothpaste that came with a fingerbrush, and a chew thing. Not sure what the chew is, but it supposedly helps create a coat over the teeth to protect against tartar buildup? It looks like a mix between a pig ear and a dried yam. They are made by Virbrac Animal Health, C.E.T. Home Dental Care somethingorother. A small information sheet with pictures of nasty dog teeth was also in the bag. I should give that one to Mom.
Oh, and I was given some propaganda about Royal Canin's "special" dental diet. Thanks, but I'm gonna pass on that one.
I'm probably going to use the toothpaste on Juneau a couple times but mainly use it with Sasha. She's the one who needs more attention given to her teeth.
We've used those C.E.T. dental chews before. They're all right. The dogs like 'em, anyway. It's the only beefhide we give.
