    New teeth cleaning idea

    Someone on a dachsie board said her holistic vet recommends Leba III to get plaque off teeth. You just use 2 drops on the tongue. Anyone heard of this? [linkhttp://www.lebalab.com/]http://www.lebalab.com/[/link]

    I saw an ad for it in Animal Wellness magazine. It looks SO good. I'm quite tempted to get some.

    Pet Naturals and Wysong both make sprinkle-on stuff for tooth cleaning too.

    I dunno if I'll *ever* be able to get fragaria, at this rate....

    I have a client who owns a holisitic pet shop that swears by that stuff.  I don't know.  If it worked couldn't we stop brushing our teeth and use it instead?  I guess if you can't brush your dog's teeth, then it's an alternative.  I can brush my little guys teeth, so I think I'll just stick with brushing.

    I could brush my dogs' teeth, if I found a doggy toothpaste that I'd be willing to use in their mouths. I haven't yet, so they don't get their teeth brushed.

    Really, I didn't know there was bad dog tooth paste.  I use triple pet.  It's supposed to be all natural.
    Ingredients: Water, Sorbitol (plant ), Kaloin (mineral), Hydrated Silica (mineral), Tetrasodium & Tetrapotassium Phosphate (mineral), Glycerine (plant), Guar Gum (plant source), Vanilla (plant), Stevia (plant), Tea Tree Oil (plant).
     
    What do you think?

    Those ingredients don't look bad, at all. I hadn't been able to find the list, for theirs.....

    One of my dogs has very severe allergies. It's scary to try new things, for her, because there's always the chance that she'll react. I have Benedryll liquid, pills, and injectable, but..... There's the chance that a reaction could lead to more stuff that I don't care to think about....

    I may try the Triple Pet, though. It looks ok, to me.

    Wow, imagine that.  I picked a good one on the first try without knowing anything about it[:D]. 
    Other than allergies, is there bad stuff that can be found in some dog toothpaste?

    Flavorings and by products are in a lot of them. Yuck.

    Some people wouldn't use that one, because of the tea tree. I'm not convinced that tea tree is harmful, and I use it as a part of our anti-parasite routine. I'd rather use that than have my baby hairless from demodex[;)]

    fragaria works great, you still have to brush, but it loosens the plaque and their teeth are so white!
