PET DENTALS...

[Vicki Satta]

YES HEIDI.... I had Scotties growing up. They were beautiful. I don't remember what they ate... seems like canned dog food. It's for sure the times we live in are perilous to pets and people. We brushed them and I honestly don't remember how they got baths. We didn't have groomers in those days! At least we didn't use them.
Definitely GMO, pesticides AND 4 D rendered meat). Interesting.
I agree. I should also say that I probably did not make it clear when I said that I was using 30c for my two. I did not give them the potentized remedy, nor did I take it myself. I prepared medicinal bottles for each dog and myself and ran it along their gumlines with the toothbrushes, let it sit and then scaled and brushed. The homeopath owner of the site where I found this info claimed remarkable results for humans, pets and show dogs. But it worked really well for me over time, but not really for my dogs. I won't be using the remedy anymore.
I am wondering about simply brushing their teeth (and mine) with this stuff and then using the dental scaling tools I have:



Any thoughts? Perhaps a specialized clay would work as well or better??? Can dogs handle DM?

We'll figure this out somehow Heidi!

It must be the breed and or the genes because I brush my dogs teeth daily, he eats raw meat and bones, and he doesn't get excessive vaccines. His are stained on the inside too. They don't have any plaque but I pretty sure they would if I didn't brush them.

Julie: what do you use to brush the teeth with?

What about this stuff recommended by Dr. Pitcairn, the homeopathic vet. He seems to recommend feeding it, but I have a friend who uses it herself and on her dog. His teeth are sparkling, but she also does the scaling too! She says brushing isn't enough.

Well, I had to laugh at this: I had pretty lousy teeth as a child, with lots of decay. When I was 12 or so, I fell in with a family of real "health food nuts" for their time, you know, with smoothies and Adele Davis. Anyway, I started brushing my teeth a LOT with straight bone meal, no other dentifrice. Within a year or two, I had white, clean, hard teeth, and our dentist could not believe the change. The only repairs my teeth have since ever needed was for those childhood fillings.

Hm, bone meal. My dogs just made a meal of bone meal on the hoof: big, lovely raw beef knee joints. I can't imagine the sterilized stuff being as good:)

This is bone meal.
You can not just add bone meal. The amount of bone in the diet is specific, not more than 10% for small dogs.
It needs to be balaced with other minerals like magnesium, and trace minerals like iodine.
Namaste,

Vicki - Is this product just a supplement or would you actually use it to brush the teeth? I am currently using what the vet has for sale, but I want to use a more natural paste. So far, I haven't found one.

If a dog gets 10% of their diet in raw bone, why would they need a supplemental bone meal product? Ginny - do you sue a bone meal product to brush your dog's teeth?

Julie, apparently Dr. Pitcairn (the homeopathic vet who has trained most vets in homeopathy) recommends it for a supplement... but most people I know who feed raw would NEVER feed that to a dog since we get our 10% raw bone from the diet. As Ginny said, she feeds bones to her dogs. While I would never feed the weight bearing bones she feeds to her dogs to mine, I definitely understand that the raw bones and their nutrients are better for teeth and gum health than organic bone meal but my luck in feeding knuckle bones to my 2 would end up in disaster w/broken teeth. I am going to replace the remedy I was using to soften the plaque on their teeth (never took it as a remedy but as a plaque softener that I put along the gumline) with this organic bone meal... ONLY for brushing their teeth and mine. I know people who use it for TEETH BRUSHING (humans and pets).... and that is what I'm going to do with it because I know it's better than anything sold in a vet office that comes through the corporate pet pharmacies!!!

Good luck Julie. Let's share results if you try it.

Heck, no; I don't even brush them:) The diet does it all.

Ginny!
Mine doesn't. So what are we doing wrong??? I follow rawfeeding group to the T... but I can't feed the weight bearing bones. Imagine if I had broken teeth..... I couldn't pay for root canals and dental surgery.

Could you PLEASE share off list what the heck you are feeding and where you get it. My meat comes from a CO farmer, and it's grass fed and Monsanto isn't present. I must be doing something wrong then.
