New York Magazine’s The Strategist interviewed Plantation veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Frione from Lakeside Animal Hospital to discuss the most effective ways to keep up with your dog’s dental hygiene.

According to Dr. Frione, the most effective way to keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy is to brush them every day, but if that becomes too big of a challenge, there are alternatives.

Alternatives to brushing your dog’s teeth daily include dental wipes, chews and dental diet food.
