Using Raw Chicken Bones To Clean Dog Teeth

Cleaning dog teeth is one of the important
responsibilities all pet owners have. Just as
with humans, proper dental health is a necessary
factor relating to the well-being and overall
health of the canine. Besides being unsightly
and causing bad breath, plaque and tartar
buildup on dog teeth can eventually lead to
infections which are often transmitted to other
organs in the body.

It's important to learn how to keep the tartar
and plaque build up off of the dog teeth. There
are number of ways available for doing this. One
of the most common, and however also the most
expensive, is to take the dog to the
veterinarian for a process called dog teeth
scaling. This is I highly effective method which
uses general anesthetic to put the dog under
while the vet cleans and grinds away the buildup
plaque and tartar on the dog's teeth. This
process can range in cost anywhere from
$200-$500 per treatment depending on the area of
the country. Veterinarians suggest this should be
done yearly in order to maintain proper dental
health.

However, this process can be highly dangerous to
older canines. The anesthetic used can often be
reacted to in a negative way and sometimes even
causes death in some animals. Another
alternative is using preventive means to
maintain healthy teeth in your pet. There are
natural toothpastes available for brushing the
pets teeth which are highly effective. Also,
diet plays a big part in how quickly in heavily
the plaque and tartar buildup occurs on the
teeth.

Believe it or not, raw chicken is one of the
best means of naturally maintaining clean and
plaque free teeth in canines. Most people can't
stand the thought of feeding their dogs raw
chicken. However, one must remember that a dog's
stomach is unlike a human stomach. There is
absolutely nothing dangerous about dogs eating
raw chicken meat and raw bones. And I must make
this distinction here that it is absolutely
important to understand that cooked chicken
bones are quite dangerous to dogs. Once the
bones are cooked they become quite brittle and
can lodge in a dog's throat causing him or her
to choke and even die. Again, never feed your
dog cooked bones of any kind.

The Rob owns are very pliable and soft and
easily chewed up by the animal. And it is this
chewing process that rubs on the teeth and keeps
them clean and free of tartar. Therefore, many
pet owners who can find an outlet for whole raw
chickens simply feed parts of the raw chicken to
their dog each day in place of or in addition to
their regular dog food. The meat is very good
for the dog ensuring the bones up is very good
for keeping their teeth clean. This may seem
like a highly unorthodox method for cleaning dog
teeth, but it's highly effective, is entirely
safe, and much cheaper than undergoing the dog
teeth scaling at the veterinarian every year.
