What a kind vet Bunnys....

Tussie: Don't you love it that the C-section costs $100 more if you don't let them spay her while they're in there?

I agree. That's phenomenal. I'm fairly sure there is not one vet in all of Canada who provides a service quite like that.

That is a great policy that they have Bunnys....

The dog my family had when I was growing up had this issue. My mom actually got one of the dental tools that are used for scraping plaque off human teeth and actually used it on the dog! It was a small 12 lb woof. Someone else might have had to help hold the dog down, but it worked. Mom would sit on the living room floor, dog in her lap, stomach facing out, holding dog against her chest.

Hi Tradd, you're lucky that you had a dog that tolerated it. We are going to try and take this one piece of tarter off but I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to bite us....

I've had dogs for over 20 years, total 6 dogs, and they got a marrow bone every day to chew until I couldn't afford that anymore, so now they get one a couple times a week. I go to a holistic grocery beause otherwise the bones have the same unhealthy things the cows were given to eat. The grocer cuts each marrow bone into thirds. My dogs have always had exceptionally clean, strong teeth, and I think this is why because I don't do anything else for their teeth.

I keep the bones frozen until the day I'll give them, so I can get enough at once that I won't run out. I thaw them then before they get them, or it's too hard on their teeth.

Giving them after a meal also helps digestion, and generally chewing bones is also calming.I don't know where these splats came from or how to get rid of them--they're unintentional.
