Tucker is a hard chewer, but is careful at the same time. Denver isnt aggressive, she just chews lightly. Which is why her yak chew barely has a indent.
Duck feet work great for teeth as well as kelp powder. Denver has always had plaque on her back teeth. Even duck feet didnt help(chicken feet are good to) but the kelp powder works. Half of it is gone. We were talking a dental cleaning but its removing itself.
Tucker doesnt have any plaque, which im glad about but i also know why. I loved giving them water buffalo horns but no more. Maybe icelandic sheep horns they are a lot softer.

Yeah Brew is careful too and LOVES his water Buffalo horns but I might throw everything out idk

Im not sure what the ingredients are in plaque off. But the kelp powder is working for us.

That’s good!!!! I think plaque off is also kelp powder or something similar but idk.

Oh okay I couldn’t find that part. I only saw the description.

Took this away from Brew and threw it away. He was so offended. Hahahaha but I didn’t want him choking or anything!!!!!! It’s only about an inch by an inch, maybe an inch and a quarter LOL but yeah.

No clue where in the heck he got it!!!!!! He had it outside. I noticed he had it I think yesterday but then he dropped it and came inside so I didn’t think anything of it at the time. But yeah. This time I took it away.

I think it’s an… antler piece????????

We have a lot of deer so definitely possible. LOL

Brew has gained even more weight than before recently to the point that people are noticing… my dad, my brother who hasn’t seen him in a while, etc… I’ve noticed it too.

We will see exactly HOW MUCH weight when we go to the vet hopefully this week…

BUT!!!!!!

In the meantime, I’m thinking I need to switch his food again to a lower calorie food. His current food is fairly high calorie comparatively.

But then again, he also gets tons of people food, some treats from my family (not many but still), and a 100 calorie dental chew every night so maybe those are the bigger issues here…

I’m thinking I need to crate him every time I eat so I’m not tempted by his puppy dog eyes to feed him as well as maybe breaking the dental chew in half or giving it every OTHER night or something…

Also our walks could be longer… a LOT longer…

Currently we only do about .4 miles each walk (twice a day) so about .8-1 mile total.

We could walk the whole neighborhood instead of our down and back route which would be about .7 miles each walk which would be almost a mile and a half total.

OR!!!!!!!!

I could get up even earlier and start doing the 1-2 hour walk once or even twice a day. That is about 2-3 miles which is WAY more than we do currently. And if I did it twice that would be 4-6 miles.

I’m thinking that would DEFINITELY help LOL BUT!!!!!!!! I’m also thinking maybe start small like walking the neighborhood first before jumping into a 3 mile walk LOL

But anyways, I’m hoping the combination of a lower calorie food and more exercise PLUS NO PEOPLE FOOD and a smaller/less frequent dental treat will help because he’s really turning into a blimp/meatball.

And if you read all this, thank you! LOL

Forgot to say, I already cut the AMOUNT he’s getting way back a while ago and yet… nothing. LOL so I really think it’s all the extra calories he’s getting plus our ridiculously short walks LOL
