GreyhoundGirl Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was talking to my principal about our dogs and she suggested frozen apple slices to help clean teeth? Has anyone tried this? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IrskasMom Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Would be greyt , if he would eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clawsandpaws Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 My grey won't eat them I guess they don't smell like anything yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FinnsMom Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Mine will eat a small piece of apple but won't take a second. I did discover yesterday that he LOVES cantaloupe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyhoundGirl Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) That's funny, I discovered earlier this week that cantaloupe goes down without being swallowed. They would have eaten the entire thing if I had let them. I read somewhere it was good for them so I thought I'd try it...huge hit!

Guest Eyeblaura Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Enzo loves apples. He's been know to steal them off the table and eat them core and all. Don't know how well they'd clean teeth though they aren't that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doggone Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) So far, I haven't found a fruit or a vegetable that Autumn will eat . She'll go for any type of meat- or cheese-flavored food, but the rest has to be "doggie" stuff. I'll keep trying (next experiment will be raw turkey necks........but that's because she won't let me brush her teeth.......but I know to just buy ONE to try, just in case..... ). The plus is that she's indifferent to much of what I'm eating . Edited April 27, 2013 by Doggone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueberri Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 You could put some peanut butter on the apple slice? Makes a good snack for da hoomans, and whets the appetite for the pupster. I wouldn't think it would have the scourability needed to get the gunge off the teeth, unless they were pearly white already, in which case this "tip" is redundant.

Guest greytone Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I've never heard of this but if its works, then its a neat idea. I should try this will my new puppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TofuNifty Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Anytime I give Bantay some apple- it comes straight out when he does his number 2 :/ Not sure if that is just him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabz Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yep, apples give Bella the runs, too I learned the hard way when I put some applesauce in her Kongs one week. My own applesauce, no sugar, no seasonings, just apple mush, really.

sobesmom Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't know that a frozen apple would have enough grit to clean teeth. But heck, if your dog likes them it certainly can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
