Doggie-Breath

Sorry haven't been posting for the summer.....Buffy and I have been so busy with other projects, just haven't had time. Now that our 'lovely' non-summer in Ontario is now just about over and the fall season beginning, will have more to time to devote to our blog site. Want to touch on the subject of 'doggie-breath' this time. Most dogs get it.....some sooner than others....Buffy's been really lucky so far. She's now 5-1/2 yrs old and I've just started detecting it a little bit over the summer. I went in search of 'natural' products for her because of her allergies and didn't find too much (as usual). Did find some really great biscuits in 'Pet Smart' by Pedigree called "Breath Buster" with eucalyptus oil and parsley in them. They sort of smell minty and she will eat them after a few hours of playing with them and throwing them around. I tried cleaning her teeth with a toothbrush to no avail.....did not like that at all! I know you can get their teeth cleaned now at the vets, but it does cost quite a bit, unless your pet insurance covers it which I think mine does once a year (Pet Secure). I'll have to look into that further and maybe start getting it done before it gets worse. Anyway, we'll sign-off for now and be back soon!
