Bought him a toothbrush and have been using a mixture of salt water and Listerine. Noticed blood so I thought he may have gingervitis ? Not sure dogs get it. Anyway I took him to the vet. Got a quote $ 879 !!!!
Anaesthesia $ 426
Scale and polish. $195
X Ray $118
Minor extractions $140 (if recquired)
Plus 10% tax
I went to another vet. Bigger thieves. The receptionist said I had to make an appointment to get an examination.
Pet Insurance might be the go.
clean them yourself
If you are concerned buy dogg toothpaste
Of course they bled as it never had its teeth brushed before

Use a piece of gauze wrapped around your index finger, get it wet, and then dab it in some baking soda or dog toothpaste. Gently rub it on your dog’s teeth. Don’t try to do the entire mouth at first; even a quarter of the mouth at a time is great. Just each time you do it, rotate around his mouth. With practice your dog will become more accepting and you’ll be able to clean his entire mouth in just a few minutes.
