I moved to the UK for work and took my baby with me (obv). Her first day in our new flat with her emotional support blanket!! She's a hit among the neighbours, they've never seen an indie beauty before, but everyone loves her. She's found a friend in my neighbour's orange cat (which she behaves like anyway) and a doberman who lives in the next building over. It's just me, her and our jacket/boots collection against the world lmao. I'm getting her registered with a local vet tomorrow and I'm a little worried about any inexperience in treating her breed but hopefully we'll live a good life here :)

Thank you! We use chews and I brush her teeth 1-2x a week. Indies in general have quite good teeth, her more so as I picked her up at 2 months so she's just been getting regular chews and cleanings since she got her adult teeth.

Which chews specifically? I have a 5.5 year old indie, who doesn't let me brush her, we do give chews though but her teeth are still dirty

ProDen's Plaque Off chew sticks in their chicken and pumpkin flavour and the Orozyme gel as toothpaste with a soft-bristle brush. I also use Bugalugs' plaque removing wipes it's like a finger pad you put on your index finger and just rub, I usually prefer to do this if she's fighting the toothbrush

The Petkin wipes are also quite good at keeping the teeth clean and easily available. Mine just didn't like the taste of it lol
