Dog Dental Help?

My dog can't have treats that last long. Because she is very protective. And she is allergic to chicken. We are looking for a treat that helps clean teeth.

    None of the treats really do all that much to clean the teeth. You would be better off if you could teach your dog, gently, to accept having her teeth brushed.

    Beef bones clean teeth well, but if she is protective resource guarder, I would simply brush her teeth & skip giving anything you'd later have to get back, such as a raw bone. An animal behaviorist (via your vet's referral) might be able to help you with the resource guarding (so somebody doesn't have to get bitten).
