EMERGENCY!! dog needs teeth cleaned!!!??
Only the vet can clean your dogs teeth the way they need to be cleaned. After this, you can brush your dog%26#039;s teeth daily as a preventative, using a toothbrush and toothpaste made especially for dogs.





It%26#039;s very important for dogs to have %26quot;dentals%26quot; done to remove the plaque. If not done, periodontitis disease sets in and can affect your dog%26#039;s heart, brain, optic nerve, etc., etc.
Reply:a cheap way: get a toothbrush and a DOG toothpaste and clean her teeth... my dogs love their doggy toothpaste... but it won%26#039;t get rid of the problem, it will just prevent it from getting worse.





and chew toys, dental treats (not that cheap)





your parents should not give away a dog just because it has some health problems... unless they really can%26#039;t pay for it... do some babysitting and pay for it. there is always that solution.


it does not cost that much and the vet will do it one time... save your dog%26#039;s teeth.
Reply:Start brushing your dog%26#039;s teeth and start giving your dog raw meaty bones. Raw meaty bones keep a dog%26#039;s teeth heathy and clean.





ONLY RAW BONES, NEVER COOKED BONES.
Reply:All I can say is DO NOT use human toothpaste on her teeth, it can kill her. You can get some doggy toothpaste and a toothbrush at Petsmart for about $10. If you brush her teeth everyday it will at least keep them from getting any worse. I brush my puppy%26#039;s teeth everyday and she has extremely pearly white teeth. It%26#039;ll also help the breath. Also Greenies, or you can get Freshies from Walmart, are a good treat that does a pretty good job of cleaning her teeth. They are about $5 for a 12 pack and you can give her one a day. You still need to brush her teeth, but that helps a lot.





Also you might want to call the vet and ask what they charge. Your parents might actually be surprised. Vets are not typically as expensive as human doctors, so it might not be too much for them to do, and it only has to be done every year or two, not every six months like humans. I am not sure what a cleaning is, since I haven%26#039;t had my puppy long enough to have to get it done, but all I know is when I had to put her in the doggy hospital for four days it wasn%26#039;t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. So all you have to do is ask the vet, you never can tell, it could only cost about $20 for all you know. They are probably expecting something like $50-100, which is probalby not going to be the case.





Good luck. I hope this helps.
Reply:The buildup of tarter forms a thick shell over the tooth and no toothbrush is going to remove that. NEVER scrape your dog%26#039;s teeth yourself either. You can start brushing, but it won%26#039;t really do any good until you get that hardened crapp off first. It depends on how bad it is now. Go to petsmart and find dog toothpaste, then, go to the grocery store and get a soft child-size toothbrush. Start by using your finger and putting some paste on her gums. Do this for a couple days before trying to introduce the brush. Never hold your dog down and try to force-brush her. Start slow to get her used to it. Your parents sound like azzholes. My parents were the same way with the dog I had as a kid. They never paid for squat for her so now that I%26#039;m older I force my mom to do what%26#039;s right for her current dog. One day you%26#039;ll be able to lecture them too. Good luck.





BTW: we just had a dental on our dog. The procedure plus 2 teeth pulled cost me $300 and they said the size/breed of the dog was irrelevant in pricing.
Reply:Raw raw raw bones. Carrots also. Anything that goes crunch will crack the tartar off of their teeth. Find a local butcher and get some raw soup bones - sometimes they even package them up as %26quot;for your dog%26quot; bones. And go whack your parents over the head with some newspaper for me will ya? If your teeth were rotting out of your head would they give you away??
Reply:Prevention of this tarter buildup is the cheapest way. The only way to remove all that tarter is to have a dental done at the vet. After that you need to brush her teeth (with dog toothpaste only) about 4 times a week to help prevent tarter from building up.
Reply:go to the pet store and get some pet tooth paste and a finger toothbrush that what my vet said to get my dog lost alot of her teeth so dont feel bad not everybody has the money goodluck I know how you feel. some dog bones cleans teeth to
Reply:umm i think you should take her to the vet
Reply:I do have a suggestion. If the teeth are infected, just have them removed. I see people clean their dog%26#039;s teeth and give antibiotics and have dental work over and over while the dog constantly has a low-grade infection. It is better just to have them removed. Dogs do fine without teeth. They are not vain, so gumminess doesn%26#039;t bother them. They still eat well. It is healthier for the heart in the long run just to have them removed rather than having them worked on over and over and over.
Reply:just get a toothbrush and some dog toothpaste(or a little amount of human toothpaste) and brush its teeth with that
