| That's a really good price actually! I think at Petsmart it sells for twenty-some dollars.
Hmm, that's a good question on how long it lasts. I've never really paid much attention to how long a bottle lasts but I'm pretty sure that I get at least a couple months out of it before having to refill the bottle. I think the 2.2 oz bottle says you get about 450 sprays of out it , so if you figure 4 sprays per day for each dog then that should give you a pretty good idea of how long it'll last you. I only do 2 sprays per dog, per day (which ends up being 6 sprays per day between my three). Once you have the little 2.2 oz spray bottle then when you're ready for a refill you can buy the 8 oz refill bottle which is a lot cheaper per ounce, I think I pay around $35 or so for the 8 oz refill and just pour that into my little 2.2 oz spray bottle when needed. I've been pretty lax about their Petzlife spray for the past few months (due to the move but it's no excuse really) and I've only had to refill their 2.2 oz bottle once in the past 7 months and their teeth are still in excellent shape despite my lapse in their dental care. _________________ ~~Val~~ |

Think about it... wild dogs/wolves don't cook the chickens and wild game that they eat... and how many of them have died from brittle bones  |
are those chicken wings also safe for puppies? |

| The raw bones are safe for puppies however you'll want to make sure they chew them up and don't just swallow them as that could be a possible choking hazard. If your pup is too enthusiastic and tries to swallow the bones without chewing then you might start out by holding the chicken wing while they gnaw away at it. Eventually they should get the message and you won't have to hold it for them long term. I always recommend close supervision with puppies and dogs that are just starting out on raw. _________________ ~~Val~~ |

Wow, I see this never got answered. Yes, you can buy raw chicken wings just about anywhere and feed the whole thing (meat, skin and bone). Just be sure to buy them un-enhanced. Some packages of raw chicken are enhanced with sodium which you don't want so try to avoid those. If you can't find un-enhanced chicken then at least give it a good rinse or soaking with water before feeding to get the excess salt out as much as possible._________________ ~~Val~~ |

| I definitely need to start taking care of Roxy's teeth. We have been relying solely on the rawhide to help keep her teeth clean, but when we got her she already had some serious issues with her teeth. We're going to try and get an official teeth cleaning soon, but need to institute a regular teeth cleaning as well. |
