Another med not for Shelties

Thanks for the info Elaine, I am funny about the meds, but so are my vets thank goodness. Its great to know the name for just in case.

Frontline was mentioned. My vet never suggested the stuff. My sister used it on her dog, and his reaction was not good. Not that everything you read might be true, but when you hear of bad reactions, see bad reactions, it just makes me cautious until I talk to the vet.

THANKS!

 

I use frontline. Justice had a reaction to Advantix. It was only a local skin reaction thankfully.

 

Laddie's Brushing Teeth

Dear Dr. Shelli and all..
Thanks for your info on sheltie teeth and no enamel problems. That oxyfresh sounds interesting and I would be willing to try it. I really enjoy reading everyone's comments on a variety of sheltie subjects and I'm glad I don't have the only two "loonies" going!! At least they haven't gotten into knee-hi's or anything particularly weird, although Katie likes to eat grass!!

 

Jackson squeals with excitement when i say, "time to clean your teeth!" I think he loves the Arm and Hammer Vanilla Ginger toothpaste. I started brushing his teeth as a puppy and he is used to my opening his mouth, checking his teeth, etc. He is so compliant while i brush and runs to his favorite chair, gets comfortable and waits for me!! It is so cute.

I joined this group a few years ago and wanted to donate and post a picture and had no luck. Can someone guide me?? Thanks.

 

We brush our dog's teeth also, and I'm glad your boy likes the experience, but you should use a DOG toothpaste - since they don't rinse and spit, it needs to be something that's OK for them to swallow, which human toothpaste is not.
