Our vet
recommended a twice daily mouth rinse for Spike - it's an enzymatic
cleaner you just squirt onto the teeth and gums after meals. Less
stressful than brushing, not sure if it's quite as effective (?) I am
beginning a brushing schedule with my boys, as healthy teeth are
extremely important to competitive disc dogs : )

Many people have posted to this ng negatively about enzymes being able to
promote clean teeth. It is interesting a vet would recommend something if
it does not work.

Considering that that particular veterinarian advised only to "keep an eye
on" teeth that are "cracked and broken", I would view his or her level of
dental knowledge and recommendations with some suspicion.
