Re: Plaque Build Up
Have you tried flaking it off? It normally pops off like "hard candy" when hooked and pulled aways from the gumline with a dental pick or similar tool. My vet can flake it off with his thumbnail but he has tougher thumbnails than I do. Of course, it take a few times for most beagles to get used to you messing with their teeth. I have one that LIKES me to clean his teeth (as long as I do not pinch his gums). I think he just like the attentio!
