Bowser’s other grandmother was over recently and marvelled at the state of his teeth. “How are they so white? Do you have them cleaned? (No) Do you brush them? (No) Then why are they so crazy white?
This. It’s just this:
Bowser, happily munching on a found wisteria trimming.This actual dog can happily chew on a stick or one of his many toys for hours a day, supervising watching us work like proverbial dogs in the garden.
Bowser, sitting amongst his daddy’s fir tree trimmings, happily chewing on one of his spiky toys.Does life get any better than sitting in the spring sun with a stick between your paws? Bowser doesn’t think so.We think this is the reason for the white toofies.
May we all take our oral hygiene as seriously as this dog does!
Elbows up,

My schnauzer ended up with some very serious dental bills after he turned four and I was told its common in the breed, especially if you keep a long beard which Levi had much of his life. You keep Browser’s quite short in comparison so let’s hope it helps keep bacteria out of his mouth that causes gum issues. He is so dang cute!
I did not know that, about the beard! We keep his quite trimmed (along with the rest of him) because he’s on trails and bounding through the bush on the daily. Thanks, Jean 💕
Look at his big, silly smile. I’m gonna have to pass along this information to all my friends: Think of the money we will save on those dentistry bills. STICKS FOR EVERYONE!
I think that chewing on sticks was the preferred human dental hygiene before toothbrushes were invented. I think it’s still done in some parts of the world. I know I read it somewhere but can’t remember where (of course! 😔). Maybe we should go back to it? Thanks, Suz 💕
Wow! Penny likes sticks and often brings one home during one of her neighborhood walks. She’s always proud of it. But we won’t let her chew it up because she swallows the bits. She’s always sad to give up one of her sticks, I tell her she can have it next time we go for a walk but by then she’s scouting for a new one.
Those spiky chew toys are a hit with Bowser and achieved the same dental purpose as chewing on sticks (or bones). Would they work for Penny? Thanks for the comment, Dawn 💕
Bowser is living his best life.
We should all be like Bowser.
👍
Absolutely

Absolutely! Thanks, Rivergirl 💕

Bowser’s smarter than me. I don’t chew on a stick. Instead I go to the dentist, and he then he stick’s me with a bill.
So sticks are still a part of our dental hygiene? 😉 Just further down the line…Good one! 😂 Thanks for pointing that out, TG 💕

I don’t know. I’ll have to try it.
Maybe we should chew on sticks and save on dental bills! 🙂
