Our vet suggested trying dog dental chews for out 3 yr. old Peke mix. I do have toothpaste that I have used just with my finger (she does not like the toothbrush, I should get a finger brush to try with her), but I have a hard time remembering to use it! She is very treat motivated, so if there are dental chews that will help with the plaque build up, I'm willing to try. Problem is, we are trying a limited ingredient diet to see if it helps with her itchiness and frequent ear and anal gland issues. Currently testing out Natural Balance LID Duck and Potato food, and am going to get treats in that too in case the Wellness treats she loves are part of the issue. Natural Balance does make dental chews in Duck that I can try, but I was curious if anyone else had a preferred brand they have used and liked.
