[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 298430, member: 1963"] Nomad, so long as the overbite isn't so bad that her back teeth don't meet at all, bones should be just fine.\ Even a little bit of raw (muscle) meat help clean the teeth due to the enzymes contained. You want to get very "tough" meat that is full of fibrous tissue and requires chewing. If you have little dogs, another good bone is beef rib bones with the meat on them. If your dog has a weight problem you will want to trim off the fat on the backs of the ribs. You absolutely want to stay away from the 'dentabones' and similar that are made of wheat gluten and the like. The dogs cannot digest them and many dogs can't handle the wheat (not to mention the concerns over contamination of wheat gluten used in pet foods) If you can give me a bit more info on size of your dog and dental health, I might be able to help you further. I worked part time as a "nurse" (technician) for a holistic vet in Germany for a few years and I learned a lot. I've had a lot of dogs over the years and cared for many more, and I learned quite a bit [/QUOTE]
