Wow. I was fully expecting a lead-in, then some catch that would make Dr. Jones money. Yet, I reached the end, and all I saw was a caring guy, trying to give helpful tips. What a pleasant surprise :-) It is people like this, who make the world a better place.
This man is truly a blessing. And yes, it’s so rare that someone is just sharing their knowledge and seeking to be a help to those of us who love our pets.
This is a hard video for me... I had a teacup poodle that was rescue, never knew her exact age for she only had 3 teeth when I got her & her time body was so bent & twisted from broken bones that had never been set, she had suffered horrible abuse. The day I got her, the kennel she was taken from also held the body of her sister who had starved to death. Anyway, she became the center of my world, light of my life & my obsession was for her to know love & happiness before she passed. I honestly believe I achieved that plus. Her death hit me so hard, I was just crushed... a yr & 1/2 later I was ready to help again. Looking online at a local rescue that's really huge,I saw a little maltese who reminded me so much of Roxie, my poodle,I set it all up & my son picked her up the next day bringing her home to me as I'm disabled & pretty much house bound. I was in shock when I 1st saw her & read her papers. They had adopted her out with her not eating or drinking , & her breath smelled like rotten meat. She didn't want to be held, or her mouth touched. From working rescue I knew what was going on & right away called them back asking for help with her dental issues. They told me their bets didn't do that, if I wanted to I could return her. Right, so they could adopt her or again to someone who might not know what was going on.. nope. I set up appt with my vet which was going to take almost a week, so I started her on some pain meds & stage 1 baby food chicken. She was so hungry,& in so much pain. But, after a couple of days she was eating and drinking because at 1st I had to force water. But knowing she was going to the vet I didn't want her dehydrated in case he needed blood. Plus I had no idea how long since she had eaten or drank given her paperwork. My vet put her on antibiotics, pain meds, & within 3 days she was sucking down that babyfood like a little hoover on high. Looking at her tell at the vets office, they were absolutely rotten,black,broken off,& the horrid smell was infection from multiple abcesses. I asked him was there any way he could put her under & clean them & pull what needed pulled & he told me no. He said he was so sorry, but she was so sick from the infection, she only weighed 5 lbs & he couldn't really determine age by her teeth, but he didn't believe she was strong enough to be put to sleep, she'd not wake up. Plan B. Can I keep her on antibiotics & pain meds till infections killed out then re-evaluate? Yes. So we tried. I did all I knew to make it a easy as I could, always medicate after meals, kept her on the baby food,let her set pace for anything and everything. It just didn't work out. She began to have stomach pain & diarrhea from the meds. We'd change the meds, give yogurt for the yeast ,just one long dance of trying to help her while not making her deathly sick in the process. Everytime we tried to stop the Antibiotics, within 2 days her breath was horrific again, and now she was so exhausted from the yoyo she was beginning to refuse food & water no matter what we did or didn't do. We'd kept this going almost a month & we're barely maintaining,making no progress & she was getting weaker & sicker from all of it. I've walked down this road for years, & there's times it's beautiful, and times it's sheer hell. We love them so much, & even tho it's only had this little one a little over a month, I'd managed to get past her wall if indifference she'd been using to protect herself,& she's gone from curl up as far from me as she could get on the bed to creeping closer to she was pressed as tightly as she could get her little body next to mine. A couple of times she even made it all the way to lay on my chest, & when she lay down on my chest she's give this deep sigh & relax, like she'd finally come home. Instead of trying to pretend she was alone on our walls, she discovered she liked it when iraised the seat on my walker & she fit perfectly to ride in style... She was loved, she loved, and it was mutual happiness. If only love would fix everything. Watching her get sick, refuse food,not drink, couldn't give her meds on empty stomach, I knew what was coming. I talked to my vet, the same man who's cared for my animals for 45 yrs & I trust & love him. I told him I felt like we had reached the point where I was doing things TO her instead of FOR her to keep her alive, & she couldn't go on like this she wasn't getting better it was just a slower death and I couldn't keep doing her like this. I'd achieved my goal of helping a much as I could and she knew she was loved and she loved me too. He agreed with me, he said they had never cared for her teeth at all & he was surprised she's made it this long. So, like always when I have to help an animal with passing, I asked him to give her enough tranquilizer to knock her out. That injection always stings & I hate that, but I prefer it because I love my animals too the degree that no way can I hold it together & be calm for them or anyone else during this process, and I don't want me losing my mind & control of my emotions what they close their eyes to. So, he gave her the injection, and I held her in my arms rocking & humming softly telling her how very much she was loved and that is had so many dogs friends in my lifetime that she was going to join huge pack that would love her s much as I do & theirs all wait together for me to get there & I'd be there soon... As the light left her eyes I broke down. I was hurry, but also so angry at irresponsible owners. At the rescue for having vets there, but not talking care of this dogs meds. I'm 64 & on disability & I paid 50.00 for a poor little dog so sick with abcessed teeth that I spent another 120.00 trying to help her & it was too little too late. After her passing I had her cremated to sit on my dresser which is looking rather crowded from the years and bff that have made my life so much happier. My son's have been told when I pass to mix my ashes written theirs & toss us over the bluff to run the mountains together.. Sorry for the long story, but I really wanted to let it be known that their teeth are just like ours, need care like ours, and what happens to them also happens to us with no care. Also the lack of care on the rescues part really shocked me. No excuse for that at all. I'm going to be using these tips & lessons from Dr Jones & plz know I'm so very grateful. I have 2 pit bulls that are rescues & I've brushed their teeth from the 1st day they got here. But these other things will also help in sure, so thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤ bless everyone
@@Robin-rj8vg I am so sorry for your losses 😢 Bless you for being such a wonderful and caring human being and for all you have done for your Amazing Furry Family Members!! You are such a strong person and the love you gave was immeasurable!! 🐾💕
@@gwynnguiliano8859 not as long as its only coconut oil as the ingredient. I use Trader Joe's brand, it's inexpensive and I already use it for cooking, hair, skin, oil pulling, etc. It's in a glass bottle as a bonus
My black lab Annie, lets me brush her teeth, do her nails, give her a bath, put drops in her eyes and ears. She is the sweetest dog and has never growled at anyone. She leaves the birds and the baby bunnies alone when they’re in the yard. I told her to leave it and she knows what that means. She has been Through raising three other puppies of my children and training them. I have five grandchildren and she loves on them. She’s been the best dog ever and I feel that God has blessed me with a kind soul
@@Spacecadet0720 thank you. She is such a sweet girl. I keep praying that she stays healthy for a long time. We joke, it’s our $50 dog. She is not a purebred. I actually have 3 different neighbors that went and got dogs because they saw how sweet she was. Lol
Trade ya for a 140 lb pure white Great Pyrenees? She heavily inspects any items in my hands that might be coming near her face or toes and is always on to me before I get within 6" of her! Wouldn't be a totally fair trade, but she used to have a pet lionhead bunny! He was but 4 lbs full grown and white as snow like my dog. Spent his first few weeks away from his mother hiding under my dogs tail, fully convinced this was his new mother, not noticing the 135 lb and 25" weight and height difference. They played little games together. But he was such a bratty bunny! When my dog got tired of his antics (he was on the go 24/7, no breaks), she'd either use one huge paw to flatten him to the floor or pick him up in her mouth, his head hanging out of one side of her mouth and his tail out the other, with the ENTIRE rest of him inside her mouth! She'd just hold him, either under her paw or in her mouth, and he'd be completely still as he waited for her to get bored of that, then she'd release him. And he'd go straight back to challenging her to catch him like the whole thing was just another game! She could have, and probably had a right to, end him 100 times over! But she didn't. The little prankster never once realized how close he was to Heaven almost on the daily. I learned when it was time to put the little mini-monster into his own room to save the sanity of my dog and myself. So, she's kind of sweet like your Annie? Sort of...
These are awesome, I’m going to start these; one thing: I’ve always been told by BeeKeepers who sell honey: a metal spoon destroys the good anti-bacteria enzymes in honey, always use a wooden spoon. ❤️
Thank you for this info Doc! Just spent over 5k …my 8yr old chihuahua had so much tooth decay the infection was rotting down in her jaw bone. Can’t imagine the pain she was in. Plus she has congestive heart failure. Our vet sent us to University of TN so she would have a chance at surviving the surgery to remove all her teeth. Her anesthesiologist said they had a tough time keeping her alive…but she made it…2 days later she was acting like a puppy. I think she was so grateful to be out of pain. It’s going to take us a long time to payoff that debt but worth every penny. Do right by your precious companions!
My dog is 3 years old, had tarter starting to build … I rubbed it on his teeth 5 days in a row … the tarter literally fell off & left his perfect pearly whites … now I give him coconut oil every other day… breath is undetectable. 🤓 & HE LOVESSSSS coconut oil. 😊
@@SalemSphynx Just the organic coconut oil … works wonders ! & never considered green tea… I actually just looked it up & caffeine in green tea isn’t good for the pups … ✨🫶🏾✨
Blessings and wow that’s great the tarter started coming off yes I definitely have to start back rubbing that coconut oil to help my Dogo’s teeth asap God Bless
I'm sorry that I didn't find you earlier. Because my 4 Chihuahuas had to have some teeth removed because I didn't know that there was home remedies that I could have been trying. It upsets me that my vet didn't tell me about it.
My dogs teeth were sooooo bad that they were black and smelling! I didn't know what was going on until her fur started coming out bcz of the infection in her mouth. I'm a senior and don't have money so I searched online and found your remedies. I started giving her green tea mixed with honey and coconut oil. I've been giving twice a day for the last 2 months and THANKS TO YOU , her teeth are gray, NOT SMELLING, and she comes and gets me for the treatment, lol!!! I will continue until.... My heart broke when I discovered the condition of her teeth and pain she suffered!! I used the green tea with honey and coconut oil. It was applied twice a day and I'll continue.
My local vet charges over $450.00 for dental care! 30 years ago our vet used a tool to scrape the tartar & plaque off of their teeth!! My husband and I can’t even afford dental care for ourselves! Hubby needs full dentures and I need an upper!
I wish my vet charged $450 for dental care of ONE dog! My vet charges at least $1k! Because they’d put the dog down under anesthesia to fully clean and scrape off all tartar and depending how “easy” it is to extract if needed. If it’s a HARD tooth to come out that’ll be another add on due to it being “surgery” like. And shes also suppose to be pretty affordable too 🤷🏻♀️ i live in good ole Hawaii where EVERYTHING is expensive! A gallon of milk costs us $9-10 bucks. A box of cereal costs about $6 on sale lol. Don’t get me started on a can of spam 😂 in SOME stores they actually have that stuff LOCKED UP in plexiglass boxes! We truly are being priced out of paradise. It’s very real unfortunately
@@bredbornraised808hawaii4 wow! That’s a lot!! I know the dental care for our pets is needed, but at that price? We just can’t afford it! I’ve heard it’s expensive to live where you do! I’ve never had the pleasure to visit your beautiful islands. Can’t afford vacations either. Seniors just getting by. No savings to speak of. Medicare just doesn’t pay for care above basic exams and cleanings for us humans. 30 years ago our vet just used a small hand tool to scrape the gunk off the teeth with me just holding our kitty! Tempted to find that tool and try it myself! I hope we don’t get the comments that if we can’t afford them we shouldn’t have them, but our kitties we personally rescued and no one wanted. So we are their Furrever home🐾🌸♥️
@@vickiemouse2359 not bad that price but Banfield has a program wellness I pay every month and my cats get blood work dental pre dental screening done. That’s I pay for it my cats are healthy at 15 years old. If you can get teeth done it’s worth it!
Where would we be without Tula! Doc...the green tea is so helpful in many issues. I learned recently that my pup loves Coconut oil when I clean his teeth...also your Quercentin and Fish Oil has greatly improved his itching. Thanks for all your suggestions. I think the key is consistency! Your supplements are high quality. Happy Happy!
I'm making a paste of coconut oil, green tea (organic decaffeinated), probiotics, bee propolis etc all mashed together to then apply to my cats' teeth and gums.
How did your cat respond to this? My kitty needs this. We’ve already had to have 3 teeth removed due to cavities. He’s a rescue and was very sickly his entire life. He has both eyes removed due to an upper respiratory infection before we adopted him. We love him so much, can’t imagine life without him. You wouldn’t even know he was blind with the way he gets around. ❤
Thank You so very much for the helpful organic healthy Home Remedies for Our Awesome Fur Babies!!! Nieve Tigre (My Flame Point Siamese) & I are Sending Lots of Love to You for All that You do for the Practical Health & Wellness of Our beloved Furry Family Members. We Love Love Love Your Videos Over!!! 💜 ASHE OSHE ASHE
I had to have a dentistry last October on my 12 yr old boy as his teeth were in bad shape. It is hereditary in his line unfortunately. In less than six months his teeth looked bad again & that was with brushing. I’m on a fixed income so I really appreciate any way to maintain dental health without a vet visit
Guess we’ve been lucky having a 21 yr old cat with strong white teeth that I’ve never brushed. We adopted him 14 years ago at a shelter that guessed he was 7-9. So he may be older! He does chew on fresh wheatgrass and eats healthy. Has Greenies dental treats. He’d never let me play dentist with his mouth, gentle as he is. Oh, I give him Dr Jones’ Feline Supplement- great stuff!!♥️
Ca, USA…Pomeranian 9 years old, got stone on a upper right back tooth. Vet charge $2500, for tests, x-pays, eco for the heart ( because dig is senior) and cardiologist evolution of tests. We were saving money to comeback for cleaning teas(another $1200), and he said that it passed already 3 months, and we need to start over. Mountain View, CA, veterinarian clinic “Alta”. There was nice doctor , and she took care of our dogs, but she left and I went to available doctor. Never again! Thank you for your videos! I always recommend your Chanel to dogs owners. ❤
I give my dogs raw beef bones once a week & their teeth sparkle! I got a 7yr old rescue with brown, nasty teeth & in 2 weeks his teeth were white & shiny. It took another 2 weeks before his gums started to turn pink & a couple more for his breath to become pleasant. My butcher cuts the knuckle bones in 1inch rounds & the pups go wild for them.
106$ Canadian, just for a visit! THIEVERY . I just put down my cat and took her home to burry it cost me 310$ How do these pieces of S sleep at night? Thank you for your content. You are helping many people and pets. 😊
My pup love frozen carrots with a tad of coconut oil and also frozen cucumbers. I told my sister to do the same for her pups, and the vet was surprised when he saw her pups because their yeeth were cleaner than the last visit.
Our pets get cavities for many of the same reasons we do. Wrong bacteria in their mouths due to the high carbohydrate diets, not enough minerals for the teeth to remineralize, and their food is too soft to "brush" their teeth. I found that giving my cats whole raw chicken hearts forces them to chew more, which helps clean their teeth. Plus heart contains a lot of taurine which is a vital amino acid for our pets' hearts. I hope this helps.
@@rentalinquiry133 I feed the raw chicken hearts to my cats once or twice a week. You can lightly cook the hearts if you prefer. I give each cat 3-4 hearts per feeding. Finding hearts can be a bit of a challenge. Try a local butcher or an ethnic market. They freeze well too, so I stock up when I buy them.
We lost one of our little Chihuahuas when her anesthesia was induced at a dental cleaning. Her heart stopped. 😢 We are trying everything we can to never expose them anesthesia again unless it’s an absolute emergency. I appreciate all of these tips you are giving us. Thank you!
That is so sad & unexpected. Mine got so freaked out the vet blew 2 veins trying to put her under. I called it off and she was sick for about 10 days- from nerves or the oral anesthesia med I dont know... $400 later... Her teeth can rot bc I aint going back for that.
Tula is a very patient dog! We use seaweed products in the UK that sweeten the breath and also work on plaque. A small scoop sprinkled over his meal every day has made a big difference
Absolutely delighted. I use a teaspoon tumeric whenever I cook dogfood as an anti inflammatory and a spoon of rosemary apple vinegar extract. I will in the future add coconut oil and black pepper and ginger. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊
Thank you for the validation for doing what works for you and your dog. My dog has some tartar but I don’t want to put her through anesthesia if I don’t have to. All my googling says hand scaling is a no-no for non-professionals but my dog is so cooperative and it works for us ❤ it has made a huge difference
Vets are so expensive, and some I found out do unnecessary surgery and treatments. It is not possible for many who love their pets to pay what they charge. One, did surgery on my Maltipoo who had a cyst on his paw. His paw has bothered him ever since, and it cost me over $600. When he got another cyst a few weeks later, I went to Dr. Jones, followed his treatment for cysts, and it was gone in less than a week!
Thank you Dr!! Can I ask your opinion on this. How about mixing coconut oil with a capsule of bee propolis & using a dog safe soft toothbrush. Would this be beneficial?
My German Shepherds teeth gets a quick 2 minute brushing with the enzyme toothpaste and then i give her a bully stick 6 inch. No plaque . The coconut oil is great and do that also every couple of weeks. She loves the brushing of teeth and has a beautiful smile
Dental cleanings where I live are $1,200+ which is crazy to me. I use coconut oil and probiotics to brush my Oliver's teeth, and will be adding some of the options you showed in the video. Thank you! Question: what do you think of using clay based toothpastes? I found one formulated for dogs without any "funky" ingredients. The ingredients are Clay, bentonite clay, diatomaceus earth, coconut oil, and papain essential oils. I have not bought it and would love to know your thoughts. Thanks so much.
I use a homemade toothpaste of mainly coconut oil with some baking soda and peppermint oil and my dogs don’t like it, but they tolerate it and I don’t even do it every day and their teeth are very good. It’s also probably way cheaper to make that than by whatever you’re looking at. Good luck
Thanks dr…I noticed a really bad smell in my dogs mouth a few mouths ago and tried EVERYTHING and finally booked an appointment to have his teeth taken out cuz about the surface they looked great however the roots were bad or so I was told…got a second opinion and turns out my dog had an underlying endocrine disorder that caused his entire jaw bone to disintegrate and couldn’t be saved and I had to put him down on the 20th…I’m devastated…I had some one come to my home to clean his teeth and they told me his teeth were fine and the smell wouldn’t go away…even the vet missed this….if there’s one thing I’ve learned…IF THERE IS A BAD SMELL THATS NOT NORMAL.
Thank you sooo much for your kind words…I really just want to stress the fact that bad breath is not normal…I know we think that our pets breath is somehow supposed to smell bad…IT SHOULDNT…in fact I actually enjoy cat and dog breath of their mouths are healthy…another point I’d like to make is if you have more then one pet it’s especially important to keep their water bowls clean cuz if they have dental bacteria and sharing bowls it’s not going to do good things for the others drinking that water…I add ACV to some bowls and baking sofa in others to help keep the bacteria down and help with their teeth. Bee propolis helped a lot too.
Thank you for the dental advice. I lost my little Pomeranian because I'm on social security I managed to get her teeth clean once and I worked on them with peroxide all the time but she still got infection in her heart and kidneys. My little terrier has terrible teeth and it is way beyond belief what they're charging so thank you so much this will probably extend her life.
I love your channel you are so informative I did not know I could give people meds and foods to my pets thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us 🙏🙏
I used to take my rescue dogs to anesthesia free cleaner and the vets would say "their teeth look great!" their faces when I said it was anesthesia free was priceless. I do the toothpaste with coconut oil, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and turmeric (I add a little stevia to sweeten). Is that okay? My girl has bad teeth but she's getting older and has tremors, so I don't feel good putting her under.
My dog bites. He does not let us fuss over anything. Teeth, ears, toe nails. Yes we stay calm, use rewards. When we brought him home from the last dental cleaning he was sedated for two days. He did not like it and made me feel very nervous. Hope your advice works. I am trying toot sweat. Thanks❤
My cocker is this way. i can pet him all day, but the second I bring out scissors,clippers, hair clippers, tooth brushes he runs. or he flip flops enough and knows how to position himself until ya can't do anything to him. He has been like this since he was a puppy. He's my 7th cocker and I have NEVER had one act like him.
Tula is such a good girl. I am.so very thankful for you videos! Appreciate your genuine affection of animals and working so hard to educate us. Been watching you for a long time.
I can't believe it costs $1k to clean a beast's teeth (yes our pets are beasts) when I thought $300 was already pricey back when that was the going rate! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us 🐾🐾
I would try the non invasive products you suggested, but that instrument seemed dangerous when not used properly. The mouth / gums are delicate. Thank you Dr. love your videos😊🐾
I thoyght the same, and I'm a nurse who is used to use all kind of tools and needles............ I woudn't dare to use that on my dogs, because they move
One slip, or your pet should jump unexpectedly, and if you didn't know your pet had underlying heart issues.... that bacteria laden blood goes straight to the heart, same as for humans, prophylactic antibiotics should be in use. And you won't know right away your pet is sick or why.
I truly appreciated the mobile anesthesia free dental service that was in our state until NJ made them illegal. I was so bummed because this allowed maintenance and never built up. I have no interest in allowing the problem to escalate into a problem that requires anesthesia. The anesthesia free service started with a full evaluation from a veterinarian to determine what level of cleaning was required and if it was within their purview. I think Vets fought the anesthesia free services for financial reasons only.
Thank you so very much my husky and my one Kitty has gingivitis. My husky has plaque and I am definitely going to try these remedies. I have been looking for something like this. Thank you for putting this on so much.❤
Thanks .. I save ten years to get my dog teeth clean at the vet when my dog turned 10 now I keep up using spin brush tooth brush for my dogs and I use dental toothpaste and coconut oil
Are small dogs more fragile when it comes to Anaesthetic? I really worry about our pets being knocked out for routine dental care. I worry it is too risky, esp as the dogs get older. I'm grateful for your tips to help our beloved pets.
Great question! Yes, smaller dogs can be a bit more sensitive to anesthesia, especially as they age. That's why I always recommend discussing your concerns with your vet to tailor the best approach for your pup. If you're interested, grab your FREE copy of my e-book here: www.veterinarysecrets.com/news/
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you. In the old days vets seemed to be braver about peeking into the little jaws of doom and flicking out odd bits of tartar. My old vet happily added this as part of my pets regular checks. He didn't hold with knocking pets out for tartar but it could be added in with another more necessary procedure. He was a good sensible old vet who used homeopathy too when it was appropriate. Very kind and caring, like yourself which both my pet and me really appreciated.
I just paid $750 for one tooth extraction here in Arkansas. I scaled my dogs' teeth every month and brush me. Saved me thousands...PLUS I have found some problems that DID need a veterinarian and I caught them before it became painful for them.
You are an absolute life saver❤ With a beautiful white English bull terrier rescue girl I frequently watch your videos for help on almost everything and it's definitely helped me. Thank you so much, wonderful gentleman ❤
Thanks Doctor! Please make a video about Cagnocphytofega Carnivorous bacteria,,who lives people with no limbs..amputation. Thanks a lot! God bless you for your efort
Thank you for the informative video. However, I would like to emphasize that breaking capsules is not advisable, as doing so can render the active ingredients inactive. Capsules are specifically designed to protect the contents from stomach acid, allowing them to reach the intestines intact. Probiotics, in particular, are intended for intestinal health and can be destroyed in the stomach if the capsules are compromised.
I had a vet say my GSD would need teeth cleaning soon. Saw your vid about crumps almost a year ago....she gets a couple a week for over 6 months ago...her teeth are free from tarter. Crumps is the best!
My dog tolerates the scaler pretty good so she has great teeth but some time ago I used a product called “plaque off”, it worked pretty good as well. You could just get it in pets stores. It was an added to the food
1. Dental tooth scaler
2. Bee propolis
3. Coconut oil
4. Probiotics
5. Raw Honey
6. Raw Carrot
7. Green tea

Little Tula is so good for being your Guinea pig. She just sits and takes it. Such a good girl.
Yes, I totally agree! What a beautiful girl Tula is and so very sweet and patient.🐶🐾
I lol'd watching Tula watch what he was preparing to use on her next. She's a good sport
I've always felt bad for Tula the experimental treatment dog. She is probably the healthiest dog on the planet.
This is a hard video for me... I had a teacup poodle that was rescue, never knew her exact age for she only had 3 teeth when I got her & her time body was so bent & twisted from broken bones that had never been set, she had suffered horrible abuse. The day I got her, the kennel she was taken from also held the body of her sister who had starved to death. Anyway, she became the center of my world, light of my life & my obsession was for her to know love & happiness before she passed. I honestly believe I achieved that plus. Her death hit me so hard, I was just crushed... a yr & 1/2 later I was ready to help again. Looking online at a local rescue that's really huge,I saw a little maltese who reminded me so much of Roxie, my poodle,I set it all up & my son picked her up the next day bringing her home to me as I'm disabled & pretty much house bound.
I was in shock when I 1st saw her & read her papers. They had adopted her out with her not eating or drinking , & her breath smelled like rotten meat. She didn't want to be held, or her mouth touched. From working rescue I knew what was going on & right away called them back asking for help with her dental issues. They told me their bets didn't do that, if I wanted to I could return her. Right, so they could adopt her or again to someone who might not know what was going on.. nope. I set up appt with my vet which was going to take almost a week, so I started her on some pain meds & stage 1 baby food chicken. She was so hungry,& in so much pain. But, after a couple of days she was eating and drinking because at 1st I had to force water. But knowing she was going to the vet I didn't want her dehydrated in case he needed blood. Plus I had no idea how long since she had eaten or drank given her paperwork. My vet put her on antibiotics, pain meds, & within 3 days she was sucking down that babyfood like a little hoover on high. Looking at her tell at the vets office, they were absolutely rotten,black,broken off,& the horrid smell was infection from multiple abcesses. I asked him was there any way he could put her under & clean them & pull what needed pulled & he told me no. He said he was so sorry, but she was so sick from the infection, she only weighed 5 lbs & he couldn't really determine age by her teeth, but he didn't believe she was strong enough to be put to sleep, she'd not wake up. Plan B. Can I keep her on antibiotics & pain meds till infections killed out then re-evaluate? Yes. So we tried. I did all I knew to make it a easy as I could, always medicate after meals, kept her on the baby food,let her set pace for anything and everything. It just didn't work out. She began to have stomach pain & diarrhea from the meds. We'd change the meds, give yogurt for the yeast ,just one long dance of trying to help her while not making her deathly sick in the process. Everytime we tried to stop the Antibiotics, within 2 days her breath was horrific again, and now she was so exhausted from the yoyo she was beginning to refuse food & water no matter what we did or didn't do. We'd kept this going almost a month & we're barely maintaining,making no progress & she was getting weaker & sicker from all of it. I've walked down this road for years, & there's times it's beautiful, and times it's sheer hell. We love them so much, & even tho it's only had this little one a little over a month, I'd managed to get past her wall if indifference she'd been using to protect herself,& she's gone from curl up as far from me as she could get on the bed to creeping closer to she was pressed as tightly as she could get her little body next to mine. A couple of times she even made it all the way to lay on my chest, & when she lay down on my chest she's give this deep sigh & relax, like she'd finally come home. Instead of trying to pretend she was alone on our walls, she discovered she liked it when iraised the seat on my walker & she fit perfectly to ride in style... She was loved, she loved, and it was mutual happiness. If only love would fix everything. Watching her get sick, refuse food,not drink, couldn't give her meds on empty stomach, I knew what was coming. I talked to my vet, the same man who's cared for my animals for 45 yrs & I trust & love him. I told him I felt like we had reached the point where I was doing things TO her instead of FOR her to keep her alive, & she couldn't go on like this she wasn't getting better it was just a slower death and I couldn't keep doing her like this. I'd achieved my goal of helping a much as I could and she knew she was loved and she loved me too. He agreed with me, he said they had never cared for her teeth at all & he was surprised she's made it this long. So, like always when I have to help an animal with passing, I asked him to give her enough tranquilizer to knock her out. That injection always stings & I hate that, but I prefer it because I love my animals too the degree that no way can I hold it together & be calm for them or anyone else during this process, and I don't want me losing my mind & control of my emotions what they close their eyes to. So, he gave her the injection, and I held her in my arms rocking & humming softly telling her how very much she was loved and that is had so many dogs friends in my lifetime that she was going to join huge pack that would love her s much as I do & theirs all wait together for me to get there & I'd be there soon...
As the light left her eyes I broke down.
I was hurry, but also so angry at irresponsible owners. At the rescue for having vets there, but not talking care of this dogs meds. I'm 64 & on disability & I paid 50.00 for a poor little dog so sick with abcessed teeth that I spent another 120.00 trying to help her & it was too little too late. After her passing I had her cremated to sit on my dresser which is looking rather crowded from the years and bff that have made my life so much happier. My son's have been told when I pass to mix my ashes written theirs & toss us over the bluff to run the mountains together..
Sorry for the long story, but I really wanted to let it be known that their teeth are just like ours, need care like ours, and what happens to them also happens to us with no care. Also the lack of care on the rescues part really shocked me. No excuse for that at all. I'm going to be using these tips & lessons from Dr Jones & plz know I'm so very grateful. I have 2 pit bulls that are rescues & I've brushed their teeth from the 1st day they got here. But these other things will also help in sure, so thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤ bless everyone
@@Robin-rj8vg I am so sorry for your losses 😢
Bless you for being such a wonderful and caring human being and for all you have done for your Amazing Furry Family Members!! You are such a strong person and the love you gave was immeasurable!! 🐾💕
I brush my dogs teeth with coconut oil. Sometimes I add the dog enzyme toothpaste. They love it and Ive never had to do a Vet cleaning for them.
@@nolaheart I do the same. I bought the bee propolis to help with her ears also. So I figured the combination would be great 😄
Does the brand of coconut oil matter?
@@gwynnguiliano8859 not as long as its only coconut oil as the ingredient. I use Trader Joe's brand, it's inexpensive and I already use it for cooking, hair, skin, oil pulling, etc. It's in a glass bottle as a bonus
@@gwynnguiliano8859 no, as long as the only ingredient is coconut oil.
@@gwynnguiliano8859 My guess is make sure it's 100% pure/organic.
My black lab Annie, lets me brush her teeth, do her nails, give her a bath, put drops in her eyes and ears. She is the sweetest dog and has never growled at anyone. She leaves the birds and the baby bunnies alone when they’re in the yard. I told her to leave it and she knows what that means. She has been Through raising three other puppies of my children and training them. I have five grandchildren and she loves on them. She’s been the best dog ever and I feel that God has blessed me with a kind soul
Annie sounds like a gem! May yall have more wonderful years together
@@Spacecadet0720 thank you. She is such a sweet girl. I keep praying that she stays healthy for a long time. We joke, it’s our $50 dog. She is not a purebred. I actually have 3 different neighbors that went and got dogs because they saw how sweet she was. Lol
Trade ya for a 140 lb pure white Great Pyrenees? She heavily inspects any items in my hands that might be coming near her face or toes and is always on to me before I get within 6" of her! Wouldn't be a totally fair trade, but she used to have a pet lionhead bunny! He was but 4 lbs full grown and white as snow like my dog. Spent his first few weeks away from his mother hiding under my dogs tail, fully convinced this was his new mother, not noticing the 135 lb and 25" weight and height difference. They played little games together. But he was such a bratty bunny! When my dog got tired of his antics (he was on the go 24/7, no breaks), she'd either use one huge paw to flatten him to the floor or pick him up in her mouth, his head hanging out of one side of her mouth and his tail out the other, with the ENTIRE rest of him inside her mouth! She'd just hold him, either under her paw or in her mouth, and he'd be completely still as he waited for her to get bored of that, then she'd release him. And he'd go straight back to challenging her to catch him like the whole thing was just another game! She could have, and probably had a right to, end him 100 times over! But she didn't. The little prankster never once realized how close he was to Heaven almost on the daily. I learned when it was time to put the little mini-monster into his own room to save the sanity of my dog and myself. So, she's kind of sweet like your Annie? Sort of...
She’s an angel baby. ❤️
@@Yosetime she is a gift from God to me. I am so grateful for her love
These are awesome, I’m going to start these; one thing: I’ve always been told by BeeKeepers who sell honey: a metal spoon destroys the good anti-bacteria enzymes in honey, always use a wooden spoon. ❤️
@judya9164 Thanks for the tip!
I hope Tula got some great treats after this video. Again I say, she deserves an Oscar with big hugs.🫂🙋♀️🙏
she is the star of the program
@@kathidori8504I always bring up Tula when I tell other pet owner about this channel.
Thank you for this info Doc! Just spent over 5k …my 8yr old chihuahua had so much tooth decay the infection was rotting down in her jaw bone. Can’t imagine the pain she was in. Plus she has congestive heart failure. Our vet sent us to University of TN so she would have a chance at surviving the surgery to remove all her teeth. Her anesthesiologist said they had a tough time keeping her alive…but she made it…2 days later she was acting like a puppy. I think she was so grateful to be out of pain. It’s going to take us a long time to payoff that debt but worth every penny. Do right by your precious companions!
How's ur baby?
My dog is 3 years old, had tarter starting to build … I rubbed it on his teeth 5 days in a row … the tarter literally fell off & left his perfect pearly whites … now I give him coconut oil every other day… breath is undetectable. 🤓 & HE LOVESSSSS coconut oil. 😊
Thank you for sharing❤❤❤
@@ambipeacelove Wow thats amazing!!! Was it just coconut oil you used on his teeth or did you mix it w/green tea?
@@SalemSphynx Just the organic coconut oil … works wonders ! & never considered green tea… I actually just looked it up & caffeine in green tea isn’t good for the pups … ✨🫶🏾✨
Blessings and great info once again Doc, thank you much
Blessings and wow that’s great the tarter started coming off yes I definitely have to start back rubbing that coconut oil to help my Dogo’s teeth asap God Bless
I'm sorry that I didn't find you earlier.
Because my 4 Chihuahuas had to have some teeth removed because I didn't know that there was home remedies that I could have been trying.
It upsets me that my vet didn't tell me about it.
I find if I leave a plate with coconut oil out our 4 cats will all like at it as they please…no need to hold them down etc…they like it.
My dogs teeth were sooooo bad that they were black and smelling! I didn't know what was going on until her fur started coming out bcz of the infection in her mouth. I'm a senior and don't have money so I searched online and found your remedies. I started giving her green tea mixed with honey and coconut oil. I've been giving twice a day for the last 2 months and THANKS TO YOU , her teeth are gray, NOT SMELLING, and she comes and gets me for the treatment, lol!!! I will continue until.... My heart broke when I discovered the condition of her teeth and pain she suffered!! I used the green tea with honey and coconut oil. It was applied twice a day and I'll continue.
Can you just put it in the water bowl and they can drink at will?
Thank you doc for your kindness and Tula’s patience ❤
You're very welcome!
I love these tutorials. I much rather try home remedies before having to pay for something you can fix at home. Thanks Doc ❤
The vet next door would not even LOOK at my pet until I paid $150 for an appointment! No love, no care. I love this guy, I mean Doctor!
It's better to use natural or holistic. Vets prescribe poison
@@MelindaConroy-c5h I've lost a lot of respect for vets
My local vet charges over $450.00 for dental care!
30 years ago our vet used a tool to scrape the tartar & plaque off of their teeth!!
My husband and I can’t even afford dental care for ourselves!
Hubby needs full dentures and I need an upper!
investment firms own these practices a new vet cant afford to open practice also insurance means med prices go up, most vets earn nothing.
I wish my vet charged $450 for dental care of ONE dog! My vet charges at least $1k! Because they’d put the dog down under anesthesia to fully clean and scrape off all tartar and depending how “easy” it is to extract if needed. If it’s a HARD tooth to come out that’ll be another add on due to it being “surgery” like. And shes also suppose to be pretty affordable too 🤷🏻♀️ i live in good ole Hawaii where EVERYTHING is expensive! A gallon of milk costs us $9-10 bucks. A box of cereal costs about $6 on sale lol. Don’t get me started on a can of spam 😂 in SOME stores they actually have that stuff LOCKED UP in plexiglass boxes! We truly are being priced out of paradise. It’s very real unfortunately
@@bredbornraised808hawaii4 wow!
That’s a lot!!
I know the dental care for our pets is needed, but at that price? We just can’t afford it!
I’ve heard it’s expensive to live where you do!
I’ve never had the pleasure to visit your beautiful islands. Can’t afford vacations either.
Seniors just getting by. No savings to speak of.
Medicare just doesn’t pay for care above basic exams and cleanings for us humans.
30 years ago our vet just used a small hand tool to scrape the gunk off the teeth with me just holding our kitty!
Tempted to find that tool and try it myself!
I hope we don’t get the comments that if we can’t afford them we shouldn’t have them, but our kitties we personally rescued and no one wanted. So we are their Furrever home🐾🌸♥️
@@vickiemouse2359 not bad that price but Banfield has a program wellness I pay every month and my cats get blood work dental pre dental screening done. That’s I pay for it my cats are healthy at 15 years old. If you can get teeth done it’s worth it!
@@stadiumarcadium2351they’re all rip offs!
Where would we be without Tula! Doc...the green tea is so helpful in many issues. I learned recently that my pup loves Coconut oil when I clean his teeth...also your Quercentin and Fish Oil has greatly improved his itching. Thanks for all your suggestions. I think the key is consistency! Your supplements are high quality. Happy Happy!
I'm making a paste of coconut oil, green tea (organic decaffeinated), probiotics, bee propolis etc all mashed together to then apply to my cats' teeth and gums.
How did your cat respond to this? My kitty needs this. We’ve already had to have 3 teeth removed due to cavities. He’s a rescue and was very sickly his entire life. He has both eyes removed due to an upper respiratory infection before we adopted him. We love him so much, can’t imagine life without him. You wouldn’t even know he was blind with the way he gets around. ❤
I really admire Tula patients, great dog to put up with all this exercise.
Thank you Doctor for your great tips.

I had to have a dentistry last October on my 12 yr old boy as his teeth were in bad shape. It is hereditary in his line unfortunately. In less than six months his teeth looked bad again & that was with brushing. I’m on a fixed income so I really appreciate any way to maintain dental health without a vet visit
Guess we’ve been lucky having a 21 yr old cat with strong white teeth that I’ve never brushed. We adopted him 14 years ago at a shelter that guessed he was 7-9. So he may be older! He does chew on fresh wheatgrass and eats healthy. Has Greenies dental treats. He’d never let me play dentist with his mouth, gentle as he is. Oh, I give him Dr Jones’ Feline Supplement- great stuff!!♥️
Ca, USA…Pomeranian 9 years old, got stone on a upper right back tooth. Vet charge $2500, for tests, x-pays, eco for the heart ( because dig is senior) and cardiologist evolution of tests. We were saving money to comeback for cleaning teas(another $1200), and he said that it passed already 3 months, and we need to start over. Mountain View, CA, veterinarian clinic “Alta”. There was nice doctor , and she took care of our dogs, but she left and I went to available doctor. Never again!
Thank you for your videos! I always recommend your Chanel to dogs owners. ❤
I give my dogs raw beef bones once a week & their teeth sparkle! I got a 7yr old rescue with brown, nasty teeth & in 2 weeks his teeth were white & shiny. It took another 2 weeks before his gums started to turn pink & a couple more for his breath to become pleasant. My butcher cuts the knuckle bones in 1inch rounds & the pups go wild for them.
I gave my dog a beef bone and she cracked a couple of her teeth while chewing it. The teeth had to be extracted, which was quite expensive.
Any advice for an 18yo cat with bad plaque buildup ??
106$ Canadian, just for a visit! THIEVERY . I just put down my cat and took her home to burry it cost me 310$ How do these pieces of S sleep at night? Thank you for your content. You are helping many people and pets. 😊
I just paid $350 for a basic visit with one shot. They are making it unaffordable for people to care for their pets.
I mix coconut oil with honey and probiotics. Works a treat, thank you Dr Jones!!
My pup love frozen carrots with a tad of coconut oil and also frozen cucumbers. I told my sister to do the same for her pups, and the vet was surprised when he saw her pups because their yeeth were cleaner than the last visit.
Our pets get cavities for many of the same reasons we do. Wrong bacteria in their mouths due to the high carbohydrate diets, not enough minerals for the teeth to remineralize, and their food is too soft to "brush" their teeth. I found that giving my cats whole raw chicken hearts forces them to chew more, which helps clean their teeth. Plus heart contains a lot of taurine which is a vital amino acid for our pets' hearts. I hope this helps.
@thisorthat7626. How often do you feed that and are they raw, cooked, or dehydrated?
@@rentalinquiry133 I feed the raw chicken hearts to my cats once or twice a week. You can lightly cook the hearts if you prefer. I give each cat 3-4 hearts per feeding. Finding hearts can be a bit of a challenge. Try a local butcher or an ethnic market. They freeze well too, so I stock up when I buy them.
@@thisorthat7626thank you
@@thisorthat7626thank u for sharing that!!! My precious Sphynx is 18½ & I cant afford a vet bill right now
We lost one of our little Chihuahuas when her anesthesia was induced at a dental cleaning. Her heart stopped. 😢 We are trying everything we can to never expose them anesthesia again unless it’s an absolute emergency. I appreciate all of these tips you are giving us. Thank you!
That is so sad & unexpected. Mine got so freaked out the vet blew 2 veins trying to put her under. I called it off and she was sick for about 10 days- from nerves or the oral anesthesia med I dont know... $400 later... Her teeth can rot bc I aint going back for that.
😢😢😢😢 that's awful
So sorry for your loss.its not your fault though may you feel the presence of your fur baby life is eternal , ❤️
Tula is a very patient dog! We use seaweed products in the UK that sweeten the breath and also work on plaque. A small scoop sprinkled over his meal every day has made a big difference
Dr. Jones, you are such a wonderful man. Thank you for all you do for us and I’m sure that blessings will be heaped on you.
Absolutely delighted. I use a teaspoon tumeric whenever I cook dogfood as an anti inflammatory and a spoon of rosemary apple vinegar extract. I will in the future add coconut oil and black pepper and ginger. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊
You are most welcome! You can get a copy of my free book at www.veterinarysecrets.com
@VeterinarySecrets Just downloaded your wonderfully informative book. Thank you, much appreciated.
Excellent advice! I’m so pleased you addressed this issue.
I don't know how many years I've been watching you and your willing assistant, Tula. It's always good to see! Thanks for the great information!
I give mine partially cooked carrot in bone broth and then freeze them. He loves it and gets a tsp of Greek yoghurt after feeding him dinner.
Cat or dog?
From now on you're going to be the vet I will be talking to before I go to my vet
Thank you doc Jones! You bring such great remedi😊es to is pet parents! Tula us such a great sport, too!! Much love! And Have a Blessed Holiday.
Thank you for the validation for doing what works for you and your dog. My dog has some tartar but I don’t want to put her through anesthesia if I don’t have to. All my googling says hand scaling is a no-no for non-professionals but my dog is so cooperative and it works for us ❤ it has made a huge difference
Tula is the best model. Your the best Dr. God bless you for all you do.🐕🐕🐕🫂🙏❤️
Genuinely the nicest vet on the planet. Thank you!!!
Vets are so expensive, and some I found out do unnecessary surgery and treatments. It is not possible for many who love their pets to pay what they charge. One, did surgery on my Maltipoo who had a cyst on his paw. His paw has bothered him ever since, and it cost me over $600. When he got another cyst a few weeks later, I went to Dr. Jones, followed his treatment for cysts, and it was gone in less than a week!
Another VERY important topic addressed. Thank you Doc ❤
You are most welcome! You can get a copy of my free book at www.veterinarysecrets.com
I have a 16 year old who doesn’t take to general anesthesia. These are good tips for me.
Big thanks for your advice👍💖🐾🐾
Thank you Dr!! Can I ask your opinion on this. How about mixing coconut oil with a capsule of bee propolis & using a dog safe soft toothbrush. Would this be beneficial?
I brush the teeth of my dogs with a children tooth brush dipped in coconut oil
My German Shepherds teeth gets a quick 2 minute brushing with the enzyme toothpaste and then i give her a bully stick 6 inch. No plaque . The coconut oil is great and do that also every couple of weeks. She loves the brushing of teeth and has a beautiful smile
how often do you brush your german shepherds teeth? so wonderful it works so well for them
Dental cleanings where I live are $1,200+ which is crazy to me. I use coconut oil and probiotics to brush my Oliver's teeth, and will be adding some of the options you showed in the video. Thank you! Question: what do you think of using clay based toothpastes? I found one formulated for dogs without any "funky" ingredients. The ingredients are Clay, bentonite clay, diatomaceus earth, coconut oil, and papain essential oils. I have not bought it and would love to know your thoughts. Thanks so much.
I use a homemade toothpaste of mainly coconut oil with some baking soda and peppermint oil and my dogs don’t like it, but they tolerate it and I don’t even do it every day and their teeth are very good. It’s also probably way cheaper to make that than by whatever you’re looking at. Good luck
@nanny8675309 what is the amount that you use for each ingredient?
Love the binders of bentonite clay and food grade diatomaceous earth with coconut oil. Helps immensely.
Thanks dr…I noticed a really bad smell in my dogs mouth a few mouths ago and tried EVERYTHING and finally booked an appointment to have his teeth taken out cuz about the surface they looked great however the roots were bad or so I was told…got a second opinion and turns out my dog had an underlying endocrine disorder that caused his entire jaw bone to disintegrate and couldn’t be saved and I had to put him down on the 20th…I’m devastated…I had some one come to my home to clean his teeth and they told me his teeth were fine and the smell wouldn’t go away…even the vet missed this….if there’s one thing I’ve learned…IF THERE IS A BAD SMELL THATS NOT NORMAL.
❤
I am so very sorry for your loss and grateful for your advise, my French bulldog has bad breath as well. I would need to take a look at it
So sorry for your loss ❤
I’m so sorry
Thank you sooo much for your kind words…I really just want to stress the fact that bad breath is not normal…I know we think that our pets breath is somehow supposed to smell bad…IT SHOULDNT…in fact I actually enjoy cat and dog breath of their mouths are healthy…another point I’d like to make is if you have more then one pet it’s especially important to keep their water bowls clean cuz if they have dental bacteria and sharing bowls it’s not going to do good things for the others drinking that water…I add ACV to some bowls and baking sofa in others to help keep the bacteria down and help with their teeth. Bee propolis helped a lot too.
Thank you for the dental advice. I lost my little Pomeranian because I'm on social security I managed to get her teeth clean once and I worked on them with peroxide all the time but she still got infection in her heart and kidneys. My little terrier has terrible teeth and it is way beyond belief what they're charging so thank you so much this will probably extend her life.
I love your channel you are so informative I did not know I could give people meds and foods to my pets thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us 🙏🙏
Tula is such a good model.
I brush my dogs' teeth every night before bed. My vet, and my own dog-lover dentist, are thrilled.
Thank you for all the. Amazing information to give us🥰🐾🌻
I used to take my rescue dogs to anesthesia free cleaner and the vets would say "their teeth look great!" their faces when I said it was anesthesia free was priceless. I do the toothpaste with coconut oil, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and turmeric (I add a little stevia to sweeten). Is that okay? My girl has bad teeth but she's getting older and has tremors, so I don't feel good putting her under.
My dog bites. He does not let us fuss over anything. Teeth, ears, toe nails. Yes we stay calm, use rewards. When we brought him home from the last dental cleaning he was sedated for two days. He did not like it and made me feel very nervous. Hope your advice works. I am trying toot sweat. Thanks❤
My female Shishtzu is very snappy too. I've had her in to vet for cleanings. But I'd much rather do more at home myself
My cocker is this way. i can pet him all day, but the second I bring out scissors,clippers, hair clippers, tooth brushes he runs. or he flip flops enough and knows how to position himself until ya can't do anything to him. He has been like this since he was a puppy. He's my 7th cocker and I have NEVER had one act like him.
Toot sweat? 😂

I would try the non invasive products you suggested, but that instrument seemed dangerous when not used properly. The mouth / gums are delicate. Thank you Dr. love your videos😊🐾
I thoyght the same, and I'm a nurse who is used to use all kind of tools and needles............ I woudn't dare to use that on my dogs, because they move
One slip, or your pet should jump unexpectedly, and if you didn't know your pet had underlying heart issues.... that bacteria laden blood goes straight to the heart, same as for humans, prophylactic antibiotics should be in use. And you won't know right away your pet is sick or why.
I would avoid the scaler as well, I do the other tips though and they do work
I truly appreciated the mobile anesthesia free dental service that was in our state until NJ made them illegal.
I was so bummed because this allowed maintenance and never built up.
I have no interest in allowing the problem to escalate into a problem that requires anesthesia.
The anesthesia free service started with a full evaluation from a veterinarian to determine what level of cleaning was required and if it was within their purview. I think Vets fought the anesthesia free services for financial reasons only.
We love you and our pets! Thank you, thank you!!!! So much love!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much Dr Jones once again for great advice on dental care.

Are small dogs more fragile when it comes to Anaesthetic? I really worry about our pets being knocked out for routine dental care. I worry it is too risky, esp as the dogs get older. I'm grateful for your tips to help our beloved pets.
Great question! Yes, smaller dogs can be a bit more sensitive to anesthesia, especially as they age. That's why I always recommend discussing your concerns with your vet to tailor the best approach for your pup. If you're interested, grab your FREE copy of my e-book here: www.veterinarysecrets.com/news/
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you. In the old days vets seemed to be braver about peeking into the little jaws of doom and flicking out odd bits of tartar. My old vet happily added this as part of my pets regular checks. He didn't hold with knocking pets out for tartar but it could be added in with another more necessary procedure. He was a good sensible old vet who used homeopathy too when it was appropriate. Very kind and caring, like yourself which both my pet and me really appreciated.
I just paid $750 for one tooth extraction here in Arkansas. I scaled my dogs' teeth every month and brush me. Saved me thousands...PLUS I have found some problems that DID need a veterinarian and I caught them before it became painful for them.
You are an absolute life saver❤ With a beautiful white English bull terrier rescue girl I frequently watch your videos for help on almost everything and it's definitely helped me. Thank you so much, wonderful gentleman ❤

Your pup is so very adorable. Thanks Doc for the tips.
Thanks so much! I encourage you to get a copy of my free book at www.veterinarysecrets.com
Thank you for the informative video. However, I would like to emphasize that breaking capsules is not advisable, as doing so can render the active ingredients inactive. Capsules are specifically designed to protect the contents from stomach acid, allowing them to reach the intestines intact. Probiotics, in particular, are intended for intestinal health and can be destroyed in the stomach if the capsules are compromised.
I would love your free book! Please.
I had great vets. Now a days 300.00 really thank you seniors love there pups

Tula is so patient! I love your vids with her because i miss my little black poodle so much. She passed in spring.
Thanks thanks million times you the best
My dog tolerates the scaler pretty good so she has great teeth but some time ago I used a product called “plaque off”, it worked pretty good as well. You could just get it in pets stores. It was an added to the food
Thank you all good advice. thanks so much
