Teeth

Greyhounds tend toward bad teeth. Soft foods, too many antibiotics when young, no care from their racing owners, all contribute to mouths that often are in bad shape. Just about every greyhound that adoption groups take in need dentals, in addition to spaying and neutering and other medical needs. These dentals are not just for cleaning, but also pulling of teeth. Hounds have 42 teeth, and can live without all of them.

Ways to keep your hound's teeth clean:

- Raw turkey necks - yep - they can eat them, and it works on the gums, and teeth tartar. RAW.
- Beef marrow bones, knucklebones See my hounds going at them
- Cleaning of teeth. yep - toothbrushes, and toothpaste just for dogs
- Water additives that keep bacteria at bay
