We thought this would be a great time to do a roundup of the latest products we have been giving the Goldens to help keep their teeth and gums clean and breath smelling fresh.
As I have mentioned before, I am very fortunate that the Goldens are so good when it comes to brushing their teeth with just a toothbrush and some paste but I do realize that isn't the case for everyone. Our goal for this post is to take the stress out of dental cleaning for dogs and their owners.
With that said, it is so important that you have your dog's teeth and gums checked at their annual vet visit and in between those visits below are some products that will help keep those pearly whites shining without a toothbrush!
