Imagine going 8 years without a dental cleaning. Tyson has. He has never had his teeth cleaned at the vet. Yet, at each check-up (by numerous veterinarians) we have been told, "His teeth look great. Did you just have them cleaned?" Although we have never paid for a dental cleaning, we have participated in a regular hygiene program. Tyson's teeth are cleaned twice daily - courtesy of Milk Bone biscuits for large breed dogs. He also flosses in the evenings - by chewing rope toys and destroying various furry creatures.
This has worked for us so far and he has received many compliments about his oral health. Tyson's teeth are pearly white and his breath is fine - according to doggy standards.
***This is a personal account and is not intended to replace medical advice. If your dog's teeth are loose, broken, or discolored or if he/she has extremely bad breath, see your vet as soon as possible. Also note, small breeds typically experience dental issues earlier in life than large breeds.

Good Boy, Tyson!
My Tiger also has nice breath! And she also eats Milk Bones!! Even though she is a large dog, I've been buying the smaller ones for years.....and I even break them in half or thirds! That's because she gets "a treat" for many different things! I just discovered something new when I was at the grocery store on Tuesday. There are Milk Bones for Senior dogs, which definitely describes Tiger! So, now she gets broken up senior treats! ....(Is this too long of a comment??!!)
