Lacey’s last Dental Cleaning was on January 25 2011 at VCA University Hospital with Dr John Kaya

I prefer that Lacey does not have antibiotics or anesthesia but I guess you can’t have it both ways unless you feed raw food full time.Having her have antibiotics before instead of after is definatly a preferance because if she has to take antibiotics after the cleaning such as at VCA it is almost a guarantee that she’d have some type of side effect but once every six months is not too bad.If your dog is sensitive to meds like Lacey is I’d recommend you bring a list of meds that your dog is sensitive to.I plan to do that for Lacey so they are aware of what she can’t have.

She’s continuing to do well after a small episode of scaredness earlier this morning but she has turned around for the better & is definatly back to her usual self!If there is anything she needs to work on besides a dental cleaning this year it is to help her get into an obediance class either this year or next year to help her not aggress at dogs who are minding their own business.Only thing I’d have to find a way on is how to override the vaccination requirement which I will look into later on

The reason I did not choose the first one was I could not find enough information to back up corn silk powder to help prevent utis.As for the rest of the ingredients I didn’t google it besides that cranberry is supposed to help prevent uti’s which we have tried in the past(type in lacey uti solid gold berry balance & you will find the blog).The reason I did not choose the third one was the same reason I didn’t choose the first though it was said to be successful

The one I did choose to try and have on hand in case Lace does get another UTI which does come about every so often,Genesis Resources Canine Urinary Tract Support,is because Uva Ursi has been used by Chinese for many years to treat UTI in the past,it has cranberry extract which also helps with UTI’s as well as stones,& Juniper Berry which is supposed to help with UTI’s.It also has chicken flavor to it though I doubt Lace would eat it & the recommended amount for a dog under 25 pounds is 1/2 tablet.Maybe even 1/4 tablet might be enough for a dog her size.How it will work we’ll never know unless Lace gets another UTI which hopefully won’t happen for a while

By the way Lace is doing great.She’s healthy and is ready to celebrate Christmas….
