<p>Part 2 isn't so great and starts touting Pedigree formulas to help teeth which I don't quite understand. You'd think a vet would promote something like the virbac products which are formulated by vets for vets, but whatever. Take home message is a good one if you ignore the brands he recommends. </p>
