Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has any opinions about dental rinses. I brush Muggsy's teeth (w/Triple Pet toothpaste) a few times a week & I give him bully sticks also. He has a couple of rope toys, but they aren't as interesting to him as stuffed toys he can tear up
He is 5.4 yrs old & his teeth have no noticeable build up & his breath isn't bad. I do not want to take him for a dental cleaning because of the anesthesia*. I have been looking into dental rinses, specifically Triple Pet Plaque Off & PetzLife oral care.
I feed Muggsy an organic diet & spring water.....as a blood cancer survivor I try to lessen my chemical body burden & do the same for my small furry friend. So, while I am intrigued by the idea of an extra boost to help keep his mouth healthy, I want to be careful what I add to his water.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried a rinse. Also is there anyone who has ever found a vet who would do a dental cleaning w/out anesthesia?
*IMO: Having had many procedures thanks to the Big C & having been put under a bazillion times, I know the whole procedure is one they take very seriously. A friend of mine went to med school just to be an anesthesiologist. I will not subject Muggsy to that except, of course, in exigent circumstances.
