Pearly Whites!

Nawny is not your typical Lab. For one she does not retrieve and instead looks at you with a look of, "yea... nice throw, what do you want?" Two, she isn't very mouthy and does not have too many toys she plays with. Her one exception is her nylabone, which she still hardly chews. So with the interest of dental hygiene in mind we wanted to find some chew toys or chew treats that would help her clean her teeth along with her brushing during the week. (she hates having her teeth brushed)

The solution: Zukes Z. Ridge dental chew bones! She loves Zukes treats with glucosamine and chondritin that she gets when she takes her vitamins everyday so we thought we'd give the dental chews a shot. Well whether or not her teeth are cleaner is yet to be decided, but one things for sure, she did chew the heck out of it. One moment we she took the bone ten minutes later we found her sleeping on a pile of chewed Zukes bits. The bones are completely edible so we were not afraid of her eating a few pieces, but she did leave us a nice little mess for us to clean.

Verdict: Cleaner teeth? who knows. Fresher breath? slightly. Ten minutes of chewing satisfaction? Definitely. Fan of Zukes Z Ridge dental chews? to be determined...
