treats for tooth challenged dachshund
Zip is about 9yrs. old. He was rescued and he has been ours for 4 yrs. The
first time we had his teeth cleaned he lost 20+, they just fell out. A few months later he lost 9. He doesn't have many teeth left, he lets me brush them a little. My husband likes to give him treats but mostly he can't chew them. So what would be a good treat? I cook his food and make sure it is soft and easily chewed. The treat thing is a problem though. Is there anything that my husband could give him that he would be able to chew? He lived on the streets for a time and has had health issues. He has a very sensitive stomach. |

If you mean treat as in a little food reward or nicety, try Cheerios - famous for toothless children for decades! I'll second that. Our 7 year old Beagle has grown up on Cheerios as treats. Cheap, little mess and a small handful spread out on the floor seems to be quite a feast. |

If you mean something to occupy him, a Gumabone may be a good choice, made by Nylabone. A little easier on his gums and since he has few teeth, he is unlikely to destroy it. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
