Warning - Product placement ahead

 I am disappointed to report that after Sisko's surgery just over a year ago to remove the excess gum tissue the gums are growing back rapidly.  This is a genetic condition and there's not a lot that can be done about it.

I love my dogs, but paying $2000 - $2500 to have the gums removed when the surgery is only lasting a year is not realistic.  Not only that, but since he has to be put under general anesthesia as he get solder this would be increasingly risky.

There is some evidence that brushing daily may help by decreasing the amount of bacteria in the mouth.  Some experts believe the overgrowth is triggered by an over-reaction to bacteria in the mouth.

But brushing a dogs teeth is somewhat like wrestling an alligator!  Yes, Sis is a good boy and would probably let me but I was looking for a different solution.

So I ended up buying these dental wipes.

They came in a 2 pack and are reasonably priced.

You slide the bad on your finger 


The pad is moistened with the cleaning material, but it's not drippy.

I began scrubbing his teeth and the pad stayed perfectly in place.  It didn't rip or tear and held together well.

So for the last couple weeks I've been using with both dogs.  Both of them love the taste and don't fight at all when I am scrubbing the inside of their mouths.  In face, they try to eat the pad each time LOL

It won't fix the overgrowth of gums that is there already.  However, it's good for both of the and since it is so easy and quick it's a good way to keep the teeth clean.  I also end the brushing by scrubbing the gums, tongue and roof of the mouth and I will say that their breath is noticeable better.
