In the NYC area most vets charge up to $400 for a scaling/cleaning of your dog's teeth. As an alternative , I have giving my dog organic sea kelp ( along with her food ). At 28 months old her teeth remain white with no tartar build up. When I get home I will try to get a current picture of her teeth to post .

Mithuna, it sounds like you're saying the kelp was a preventative for tartar build up--OR, does it actually work to remove tartar build up?

by Mithuna on 23 December 2016 - 14:12

From my observation it does both. I started it a few months ago because her teeth started to get a build up, but now all her teeth are white. I never did anything else but the kelp,because I understand that it does help with this. I decided to give it a try.

The best teeth cleaner is chewing on raw chicken bones.

From what I have read the sea kelp contains a bacteria residing on the kelp surface that chemically destabilize tatar. I like the results that I see.

What I have seen is bright, white clean teeth and healthy gums, even from just the occasional feeding of a leg, wing or thigh in an older dog with previous tarter build up and yellowing of the teeth. Chicken has the perfect ratio of bone to meat, too, for dogs.

Kelp would be like using mouthwash, and raw chicken is like doing a good flossing.

I brush my dogs' teeth. It's not the happiest time of the day.

I find marrow bone and green tripe very good ripping the tripe gets in between the teeth like floss

At only 28 months the teeth SHOULD still be very white ! Not that I have anything against kelp or other seaweed conditioning products. Keep on giving her the kelp and feeding what you are now, and come back and report in - oh, say two more years - and let us know whether there is any tartar build-up then.
