Dental health is a concern for many people as the mouth is often a good indicator of general health. A lot of people fear that leaving their kibble behind is akin to saying “buh-bye” to good dental health. It’s just not true, though. The incidence of tartar buildup with our foods is actually very minimal because of their loose, soupy consistency. The whole dental kibble-cleanse is something of a myth which should lead one to ponder whether eating crunchy cookies will clean your own teeth, but I can see where there’d be a wrong turn in the path to “no.” (We all at one time or another believed it to be true, too.)
The truth is that the nature of the crunchy kibble means when it’s chewed, the sugars and complex carbohydrates actually get impacted into the gum line, which is detrimental for the long term health of the teeth and mouth. Still, we believe that dental health is important, so we encourage you to feed raw beef marrow (soup) bones for recreation (aka. not for eating, but for gnawing on). Dogs will find them pretty darn entertaining and yummy. You will be pleased with the results and the fact that feeding these bones on a regular basis can virtually eliminate the need for dental cleanings in many dogs. IMPORTANT: We do not recommend cooked bones of any kind as these can splinter with serious health consequences. Also, exercise the same care and caution with these raw bones as you would any other raw meat.
If your dog already has some dental problems, here are some holistic nutritional supplements that can contribute to dental health.
- Vitamins A, C, and E (antioxidant)
- Coenzyme Q10 (antioxidant - reduces gingival inflammation)
- Bioflavanoids - like Rutin and Hesperidin (available in some toothpastes)
For information on dosage (and if they are appropriate for your particular pup), please contact your homeopathic veterinarian.
