My philosophy is if an animal is getting all the necessary
nutritional requirements its bones, hair, teeth, etc. require, then the pet will not need teeth cleaning no matter what anyone says.

Frankly I have had old cats and old dogs and none
of them ever had their teeth cleaned and they died with all their teeth in relatively good repair. Granted, some of the very old ones teeth were not "sparkly white", but they never acquired gum diseases nor any other mouth diseases eigher!

Nutrition--the right calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and other minerals for strong teeth and gums is what an animal needs, not $200 for a teeth cleaning. Think about how much good wholesome food you could buy for your pet or even the natural nutritional supplements you could buy for $200 and how long they would last.

One of the more grim side effects of anesthesia toxicity is
the accumulation of the toxins in the liver and how this ultimately affects other organs in the body as well as the nutritional uptake in the digestive system. Plus a little known side effect is the possible change in the pet's personality. I have heard about this a lot in recent years. Why does the pet's behavior change? Because the pet's
polarity of positive was changed to negative. It is pretty
difficult getting the pet back to where it was without all the drugs. Yes, drugs have an extreme negative effect on your dogs and cats too.

Yes, you can get the toxic effects of anesthesia out of your dog's body by doing a de-toxing (purifying the blood) procedure. But that's not the issue. The issue is why traumatize your pet and your pocketbook in the first place.

Food for thought about the true best interest of your canine companion's health.

I just thought you should know.
