Have you cleaned your best friend’s teeth today?

The great news is: your greyhound greyhound is most likely to have a great set of teeth. After all, with that well-sized jawline, there’s plenty of room for them to grow and thrive. But just like we humans, our four-legged friends need to clean their teeth regularly. When you adopt from Greyhounds As Pets your greyhound will have recently had a full scale and polish of their teeth. Any teeth requiring extraction will also be tended to prior to adoption. It might sound awkward, but the sooner you get your greyhound into the habit of having his teeth cleaned, the easier it’s going to be for both of you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMe4JcToa6Q&rel=0

Five Steps to Doggy Dental Hygiene

What else?

• Feed him dry kibble to help scrape off tartar and plaque
• Offer dental treats to remove plaque, massage the gums and promote fresh breath.
• Entertain your greyhound with chew toys, made from nylon, rubber or rawhide, to clean your greyhound’s teeth and massage his gums as he plays
• Treat him with large, raw beef bones to keep him busy, provide nutrition and help with dental maintenance. Be sure to avoid cooked bones, brisket or small bones… and if you have more than one greyhound, make sure you keep an eye on them when they’ve got bones to chew on, just in case they become aggressive as they try to protect their treat.
