My daughter brushes Maxi's teeth once a week, when she starts work next week I will brush them. When we took Maxi and Medjai to the vet the last time for their yearly exam. The Vet mentioned the tooth brushing to my daughter and son-in-law and proceeded to look at Medjai teeth to show tarter build up, he open her mouth and said well this is a bad example she has perfect teeth, she is 5 now. My son-in-law said all you have to do to have teeth like hers is to eat rock and concrete (Medjai an American Bulldog has extremely strong jaws and teeth and will eat rocks when given the chance. We all so give all the dogs compressed rawhide bones and to watch them eat them I can see how it would help clean their teeth, they chew on them at all angles so all the teeth get a work out. We still brush Maxi's teeth and it does make his breath fresh.
