Does your veterinarian not recommend having her teeth professionally cleaned?
Humans who have perfectly healthy and well taken care of teeth still go to the dentist, and for dogs it is no different. You should still be getting her once a year!
There are more issues than not which could be happening that are not visible to the untrained eye.

- MustardTiger 10y agoThe veterinary business has a huge problem with dishonest upselling and recommending unnecessary treatments. "A vet recommends X" doesn't care the same kind of weight as "a doctor recommends X", and won't until the veterinary profession gets real ethics standards imposed.
