Has anyone occupied this and it has helped their dogs breath? I want to feed my dog a good dog food, but am having a hard circumstance deceiding on what brand
Ok, I think I have deceided on Nutro Natural Choice Puppy Formula, any reviews on this bread would be great

Starting with Big Breed Puppy and Moving to Large Breed Adult. I have been told repeatedly by vets and other bow down to dog people that it is easy to tell he receives a good quality dog food.

Is there any alternative methods to removing tartar base up on my dogs teeth. I've tried brushing, busy bone dental, and smoked real bones to no avail.

Dear F. -- V.C.: You raise an important issue. Periodontal and other dental/oral diseases are all too prevalent in dogs and cats today. Part of the reason is highly processed, high-cereal-content and gluten-loaded pet foods that are not conducive to oral health. It is regrettable that many veterinarians are still selling such junk foods in their clinics that can put cats' health at risk and cause other health problems in addition to dental disease.

Transition your cat onto a raw-food diet or my home-prepared recipe available at my Web site. Check my article on preventing periodontal disease. Giving your cat scalded chicken wingtips -- skin and all -- and then strips of raw beef shank meat or beef heart will naturally clean his teeth. Products such as PetzLife Oral Care can also help maintain healthy gums and teeth after professional cleaning.
