If you prefer not to clean their teeth yourself you can get a pot of Neem Bark from the kennels to put in their food, it helps heal gum disease and softens plaque so you can rub it off - if you do use a brush you can dip that into the Bark and gently rub it directly onto their teeth 🙂 We've had some great results with it and I give it my dogs daily to keep their teeth sparkly 🙂 Julie

Davey
I’m Homed
Please please please - someone please give Davey a chance. He is such a loving boy - settled at night (just takes himself off to his bed), good with other greys and larger dogs and getting better with smaller ones. He is a bit strong on the lead but a harness helps with this. He used to be very food aggressive but I have taught him not to snatch and he is very good whilst eating with my 6 and Nora and will wait patiently to see if there are any leftovers. He loves to play with his toys and will entertain himself throwing the toys around for a short while and then settles again. He knows commands such as 'on your bed' and is a very clever boy. His main problem is being behind bars of any type which is why I have got him at home. If in a kennel or run, he becomes aggressive with those he doesn't know - but out of this environment he is loving, gentle and laid back as I have found out. Because of this, I wouldn't advise that he lives in a home with children where there may be stairgates or something similar. He would suit the company of another dog and would be a faithful companion to anyone who gave him a chance. If you are interested or would like to view him - I am happy for people to see him at our house - please please get in touch. He is getting too settled into our routine and I don't want to upset him by letting him get used to our life and then be uprooted again...... This fella is 8 this year and really deserves a home to call his own. x

Poor Nora is getting frustrated now.... I had to put on a soft lampshade collar and neck brace yesterday as, despite every effort, she manages to get all her bandages off - she is like Houdini! Because of this, she is irritating the stitches and they are becoming sore. She had a settled night but is now becoming very grumpy with her lampshade on (which is understandable) and I think we will be off to the vets today to get some more antibiotics as she has finished them now.

Such a sad day that poor Spotty has ahead of her - she is off to the vets to have the majority of her teeth out as she was returned in a very sorry state. I am hoping the op goes well and I am sure she will feel a million times better once she is better. I love this girl - she just lays there wagging her tail in the kennel when you pass by and say hello. My heart is broken for her that she has to be in kennels after so many years in a home. Good luck Spotty for today xxxxx
