Have you tried logic gel?  My 2 love it and will just lick it from the tube - no need to brush with it.

Dentals and Extractions

Hello! I think the time is getting near where the Corporal is going to need a dental and/or teeth out. He has had reddish gums for a while but doesn't seem bothered by it. My vet said to try him with Plaque-off (which he won't touch) and give it six months.

I'm feeding him RC Oral Sensitive (as well as Hill's I/D which he steals from Chester).

He still eats fine and doesn't seem to be in any pain but he gets a build up of "matter"(presume food debris) on one side of his mouth in his fur and it smells so I clean it all the time. The vet said it's because he's been badly bred and his jaw is out of line so his natural teeth-cleaning doesn't work.

Anyone got any experience or tips? He's only 5 so I don't want to do anything too drastic too soon.
