I was examining the dog I am fostering and noticed his teeth are all yellow and nasty. How can this be on such a young dog (15 mos)? I was telling my wife, I think they fed him all table scraps. I don't know too much about canine health, but he seems way too young to have tooth decay (if that's what it is). I'm thinking of giving him raw bones to help his teeth out. Any other suggestions?
I don't know what causes it, but a few months ago I placed a little pittie cross into a home, she came from a few hours away and when she arrived she had nasty yellow teeth, she was only 7 months old. But within a few weeks on a good food and some bones it went away and her teeth are now sparkling. I think it was just bad nutrition and poor living conditions. This dog was generally not well though, had a few open sores, gross coat, quite thin etc etc...
Good luck with your pup, I'm sure it will go away and he will be fine.

Personally, if his teeth are pretty bad, I would take him to the vet. My young male who just died of kidney failure and had horrendous teeth towards the end due to the kidney issues. Your boy most likely does not have this issue but I would check for the peace of mind.
