[quote=Anonymous]Don't know about cats (I'm allergic), but I brush my dog's teeth pretty much every day.  She's now 7 and the last time we asked the vet about teeth cleaning they took one look and said she doesn't need it.

Here's the thing:  If you've ever met a older pet (dog or cat) with disgusting breath it's because people never brushed their teeth and there is decay in there.  Tooth decay smells bad.  If you've ever met an older pet who becomes irritable all the time, it's probably because they have tooth aches from their teeth rotting.

"Denta bones" and other treats don't do jack.  If they did, we would have some equivalent thing for humans and I wouldn't have to brush & floss my own teeth all the time.

OP, you're welcome to not brush your pet's teeth, but you are likely inflicting some amount of misery on her and yourself (in the case of her breath).  You can read the other PPs to make you feel better about this.  News that you don't have to do something you don't want to do anyway usually has that effect.[/quote]
