Hello all,

My 4 y.o. Buddha has a very slight case of gingivitis on his 2 back
molars.  Vet says he'll need his teeth cleaned within the next 6 months
to the tune of $150-200 with general anesthesia.  Would love to avoid
the danger of putting a small animal under (and wouldn't mind a cheaper
alternative either!).

Any suggestion for an alternative treatment?  I already feed him tartar
control treats.  He won't let me brush his teeth.

You might try giving him raw bones. My 13yo beagle-mix has excellent
teeth and I think the beefhide/raw bones combo is partially responsible.
