You right. That is why I get aggrevated with the vets at the clinic I take my dog too, because they obviously don't understand that what they tell me to do doesn't work with my dog.

Before I had my chihuahua, I had a miniature poodle. The vet used to tell us to give him these breath mints (little balls, kinda like the icebreakers w/ liquid) to clear up his bad breath. They used to tell us to mix it in w/ bread or something so that he would eat them. Well the darn dog would pick the breath mint out of the bread, throw it somewhere else and eat the bread.

Just cause it works for some dogs, doesn't mean it works for all.
