So who here brushes their dawg'z teefers?

There must be some tips and tricks to it!  Ruby has not cooperated so far.

Don't use human toothpaste. They make beef and chicken flavored doggie toothpaste.

Every few years we just take our pups in to the vet where they clean them under anesethia.  Brushing never really worked for us.  It's a PITA for us and our dogs really didn't like it so resisted.

I am counting on Cheese and Aire!

I tried the beef flavoured but she is still not a fan!

Our vet suggested playing with their mouth and rubbing their teeth when playing with them in the morning.  She suggested morning is best before they get hyper.  Duke accepts this type of foolishness, but we've not tried actually brushing his teeth yet.  I'll report back later on the results.

You should be so lucky as to be a cat fancier.  First you enlist the assistance of several friends.  Then comes the leather welding gloves part................

I don't. WOshotgun does it. We waited too long to get Katie's teefs cleaned...  She had some bad ones.

Yeah, if you dont start doing it while they are puppies, its a losing battle. We could do it with Scoot because we got him as a pup. He was always pretty laid back though too. While he'd still curl his lips sometimes to show his disapproval, that just made things easier to brush. 

The girls we've always needed to take to the vet.

I had some luck with the finger toothbrush in Cheese's video.  It was no-go with the regular toothbrush.  She is pretty easy going so I think we can do it regularly.
