Denta sticks substitute

Renno123

I bought denta doggie sticks for my dog
but realised she could never eat them (it was my previous dog used have them)
but im wondering if there is anything like them but just softer.
my dog is nearly 12 , shes in good health but she is a pom cross, so they can have weak teeth. the denta sticks are too much for her and she cant bite them.l

so anyone know anything, other than the doggie toothpaste as she isn't a fan of the toothbrush

thanks

what about a raw carrot? Or if still too hard you could cook it a bit and let it cool.

My dog loves carrots. She gets one after every meal.

+1 on the raw carrot. I've never been a fan of the Dentastix, found that they made our guy a bit hyper.

As well, we give our dog his kibble dry - this is meant to help clean plaque etc off their teeth.

I'm currently trying Plaque off powder, you add it to their food.
My bitch has a very small mouth and despite raw meaty bones, occasional brushing and dry food her teeth are not in good nick, and she's only two.
Its only been two weeks but it seems to be working, her teeth look a little cleaner and her breath has improved too.

they would still be too hard i imagine, her front teeth are wearing away.
plus she is a very fussy eater
thanks

I got the plaque off in a vet shop but I've seen it on zooplus i think, some pet shops may have it.
If the dogs teeth are in good condition there's no need really, I got is as my dogs teeth are getting a build up of plaque on the back ones and the vet suggested it. (as apposed to knocking her out and cleaning her teeth in a year or so)

There's a Kong for elderly dogs now, you could fill it and give it to the pooch.
I don't find Dentastix help clean my lots teeth but if it's just something to chew maybe the Kong senior would help.

+1 on the plaque off. Iv been using it for about a month now and it's worked wonders on my cat who had very smelly breath and has already been through one dental in April but despite semi-regular brushing her teeth got bad again but since using the plaque off they have much improved and the smell is non-existant. I paid €16.50 for it in a petshop but I'm thinking it should last a good 6 months at least for a cat and a small dog, well worth the money.
