I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yorkies promote dental hygiene! Airstreamer posted some adorable pictures of Tyler getting his teeth brushed, and this gave me an idea to do a tooth brushing video. Seeing his little mouth opened so wide really cracked me up. A few other people offered some pictures, and now we have a video of Yorkies promoting dental hygiene! Yorkies have a real problem with tartar, more so than other dogs, and we need to do everything possible so that they can retain their teeth. Tartar isn't just a cosmetic/bad breath problem, bacteria can lodge in swollen gum tissues, and cause heart disease and diabetes, not to mention early tooth loss, which cuts down on their ability to chew. I want to thank all the people who offered their pictures!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You tempt them with a tasty dog toothpaste; it gets easier over time.

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | The trick is to make it a game lol.Let them taste the toothpaste , which is actually quite nice, dont ask how I know lol , then give them the brush to play with. Then add the paste to the brush and play like a tug of war. Shortly after that they will be bringing YOU the brush and you can get their pearly whites whiter.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | OMG how super cute! What a great job...oh and the furbutts are so cute and with their squeaky clean teeth. Izzy tolerates it and she is getting better. We just got ourselves a dental scraper for doggies and it seems to be OK..we also use the Petzlife gel and spray but I didn't see much of a difference so hoping that the scraper will do the trick.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lol, I was trying to trick you to see if you watched the whole thing! "Look ma! no cavities", would have been a great name, dang, I've been racking my brain over that.
