    Man, those are GREAT teeth!

    And I feel in my guts that Snorkels' untreated, green, rotted teeth that had no attention for years caused her mitral valve disease, regardless of the fact that people say her breed is prone to it.

    how could it not? Only four of her teeth were saveable. All that bacteria in her system for years.

    I know. My little Tommy ended up with one tooth and the ones he had when I first got him were black. Bailey has always had pretty good teeth for a small dog. But when I think about it she's done her own version of pmr by killing small animals herself and eating them. She's a beast!
    The only tooth missing in her mouth is the one right in front and she knocked it out running 90 mph and smacking her face into a cement step. Seriously, a beast....

    HAHA - if no one else will brush my teeth, I'll just do it myself! and knock one out to boot.

    Daisy's biggest problem is she has receding gums. I noticed that I used to have to sweep her back teeth to get the food that would be caked on in the way back and she hated that. Now she has nothing on her back teeth and she is getting through the bones no problem.

    Sprocket, my Zoey's teeth probably look a lot like Gunner's. She's almost 6 months, and has been on raw since she was 3 months. Her adult teeth have been coming in recently, so her shiny new big girl teeth will always stay that way! :D

    I love how white new dog teeth are! Hopefully Gunner's will stay that way. He has been on the diet for 3 weeks now.

    Here are a few for you! Rocky's teeth have never been brushed or scaled. I am thinking about scaling his canines, since I can't find a meal that is complicated enough for him to use his canines...



    Before: Taken Sept. 29th 2011





    Two and a half weeks in:






    Taken today:








    Edit: Just forgot to say that he's about 4 years old!
