from: stephanie hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just to site one example, and i assure you my cavalier had no "predisposition" to having any problems with the gentle dentle method. I did use them via the cotw health clinic and my cavalier contracted some infection/fungus as a result, (biopsy is yet to be done) and grooves in his back teeth where the fungus is embeded, along with his mouth and lips. Once some of this is under control, he can have some reconstructive work done on his mouth to cut out the affected area. This was his first dentle cleaning ever so he had no previous issues.
It isn't always money either, it is knowing a skilled vet is working on your pet and not an untrained (or angry resentful) non-anesthetic alleged hygenist who by the way told me when i declined to have my dogs teeth done after having second thoughts, that i was being frightened by my vet against gentle dentle because my vet wanted the money. Well, in retrospect i should have listened to my vet and my cavalier wouldn't be facing the 8th month of treatment after the cheap $25 scraping she did to him. p.s. I don't want angry mail, i only wanted to say, sometimes the cheaper way is that way for a reason. Some people love that method, great, i won't do it again. I already know how many people swear by this method for all their 70 dogs and they've never had a problem. Just make sure you check the people out, make sure the company you use isn't being sued by the State in which you live, check all of that out first. do your research just like you would if you were picking a vet, before you let them put their hands on your dog.
