Since February is the month dedicated to dental care for pets I thought it would be fun to check out all the ways I’ve kept up with my oral health over the years. #NationalPetOralHealthCareMonth 

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Toothbrush Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Emmi-Pet is an electric dental tooth brush designed for pets that cleans teeth without the need of vibration. While I found this to be a great tool, I sort of fell off the wagon when it came to keeping up with brushing regularly (I know, shame on me). Fetch the Emmi-Pet Toothbrush.

Clean Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund

I tried the Tropiclean Teeth Gel for a time, it’s a great way to add some cleaning power to your dog’s teeth without the need to use a toothbrush. You can even spread it onto your dog’s chew toys. I did thoroughly enjoy this cleaning method, but again I wasn’t great about keeping up with a routine. Fetch the Tropiclean Teeth Gel.

Mom even used a pet dental scraper on me. This is a great way to remove plaque buildup, and something I still have done on occasion when my plaque buildup gets noticeable. Fetch a Pet Dental Scraper.

Dental Chews are another great way to fight plaque if your dog likes to chew on them. I tend to be really interested in them at first, but eventually loose interest in the toys after a few weeks. One of my favorite chew toys that I have remained in is the Benebone which encourages me to chew on a regular basis (and I use it almost every night). Fetch a Benebone Dental Chew.

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

My absolute favorite way to keep my teeth looking sparkly is with dental chews. Lately I’ve been snacking on these Zuke’s Z-Bones Dental Chews from Chewy.com. Seriously what’s better than cleaning your teeth by eating something delicious!

Key Benefits of Zuke’s Z-Bones in Clean Berry Crisp

  • Potato and pea-based formula which is highly digestible
  • Alfalfa, parsley, rosemary, and fennel naturally freshen breath by supporting digestion
  • Helps polish teeth, freshen breath, and maintain healthy gums
  • Nutrient-rich cherries are a powerful source of antioxidants
  • Available in four sizes to accommodate all dogs 10 lbs or larger
  • Made in the USA!

My mom’s favorite part about these chews is that not only do they help clean my teeth and freshen my breath, but they also contain Turmeric. You may have heard me mention this ingredient before, but it’s been studied for its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent cancer in your pet. That’s a big plus in my book!

So while I’ll continue to do my best in keeping my teeth healthy and clean, I most certainly won’t give up my daily dental chews…..it’s my favorite part of the day!

Best Bully Sticks Review & Giveaway

Ammo the Dachshund // Bubble Wrap King

Sometimes being a shop dog can be really hard. Like when all you want to do is play in a giant pile of bubble wrap but mom says there is real work to be done!

Best Bully Sticks Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But when there is real work to be done at the shop, mom has a secret weapon (especially for days when all I want to do is play in bubble wrap)……Gullet Sticks from Best Bully Sticks!

Gullet Sticks are made from 100% beef esophagus, and a little softer than bully sticks making them ideal for smaller dogs.

These 6 Inch Braided Gullet Sticks from Best Bully Sticks are long-lasting dog chews that are an excellent source of glucosamine which aids in joint health.

So when mom needs to get some work done at the shop she slips me one of these Braided Gullet Sticks from Best Bully Sticks to keep me occupied (and out of the bubble wrap).
