| I work at a vet clinic and we recommend daily brushings--if you can't do it everyday(I am too lazy to do it everyday, lol!!!), weekly is better then not at all. My 2 y/o will lay in my lap when I brush her teeth, my younger one is still learning--she likes to chew the toothbrush and lick the toothpaste. Our Dr says it helps just getting the toothpaste in the mouth, but brushing is best(just like us,lol). Good luck. |

| I'm bad... I do it once in a great while... Sapphire doesn't let me brush her teeth. She bites the brush and eats the toothpaste.

| I brush Maggie's teeth once a week, but give her dental chews daily. My Vet says her teeth are in excellant condition. I'm anxious to hear what others say about this topic. |

| I do Oliver and Brooklyn every day...it seems when you do it more often they are more accepting of it.

| Every day. Sometimes twice a day. Prince is 5 and has all of his teeth. According to his vet, that is rare, for Yorkies!! |
