It has always been a challenge for most pet owners to help their dogs maintain clean and healthy mouths. There are a number of products on the market that tell you they can prevent tartar in the mouth of our dogs.

We have tried a number of the products currently being sold that claim to be good for tartar removal and to clean our dogs’ teeth, and still found that they could not prevent or even remove most of the tartar. These products all claim to clean their teeth with just a simple bite or chew and the tartar will disappear. In spite of the manufacturers claims we found it necessary to have our dogs make a visit to the Vet to be placed under anaesthetic costing several hundred dollars each time to get their teeth cleaned and removed as necessary.

We had never given our dogs beef bones because we were uncertain as to how their digestive system would handle it. A few months ago we started buying Prime Rib Roasts for our special Sunday Dinners. We decided to give the beef bone to one of our girls to see how they would react. I was a little concerned that the beef bone would possibly cause diarrhea, but when this didn’t happen we tried it again the next week with a different dog and had the same results. We now have a couple of these beef bones lying around and there wasn’t a day went by that they didn’t enjoy chewing on them. They were even good at sharing them with each other.

We had made an appointment with the vet for one of our girls to have her teeth cleaned because she had quite a bit of tartar on her teeth and found that after having the beef bones to chew on for several weeks, the majority of the tartar was gone even below the gum line. The vet was quite surprised and also very happy that he didn’t have as much work cleaning her teeth.

Now I’m not saying that these Beef Bones are the best thing to ensure that our dogs’ mouths stay healthy, but it sure helps in controlling tartar and reducing the need for major veterinary costs.
