Hi all! I was wondering when you might have done your first dental cleaning on your standard or if you have any thoughts on it?
Sage is 4 years and 4 months. I only brushed occasionally until he was about two. The vet gave me a talking to and I started brushing almost daily. Luckily he loves the electric toothbrush and the vet was impressed at his yearly check up last year. I have not been so good at brushing over the winter after I got the puppy so I might average 3-4times a week?
He is starting to get a bit of build up of tartar or whatever it is. the vet suggested a dental cleaning next year.
He will be about 5 years old. Has anyone else done this at this time? Is it better to do now since he’s young and healthy, or wait, so as to potentially decrease the number of times he might need general anesthetic for cleanings overall?
Any thoughts?
