Well I don't know where the OP lives, but I find it incredible to believe that the SPCA can issue a citation to someone to get their dogs teeth cleaned! I'd throw the person out of my house. With so many serious issues to deal with I'd be filing a complaint that they don't have anything better to do?? Okay that's my disbelieving rant (not disbelieving the OP). That said my vet suggested to me that there are some places that will do dental cleaning without anestetic. My girl is 12 and could use a cleaning as well, but like you I don't want to have to put her under to do it. Good luck to you on this. I honestly think I would be asking a higher authority though about the ability of the SPCA to force you to clean your dogs teeth. All that said, I know that BenMax is very informed on doggy issues and would trust her emphatically, but I'd still be telling them to take a hike. My vet also recommended we use Dentabones or greenies for her teeth (but I've heard mixed things on greenies).
