| How Do you Care for Your Pup's Teeth? I thought it would be interesting to see, in graph form, how we as a community are caring for our Pup's teeth. (this poll allows for you to choose more than one option)

| I use an Oral B electric toothbrush on Bogie...Jada goes bonkers with it and I have a hard time even with a manual for her. I use the CET fingertip tiny brush on her.

Neither of them will let you use it? Curri hates it but she is now letting me do a full 2 minutes with the Sonicare turned OFF and another 30 seconds with it turned ON Quote:

| The lady that I took Morgan to for his obedience class said to put the toothbrush on your finger and rub it on his teeth |

| Only 4 of us so far use Sonicare or other battery operated toothbrush. I thought it would be a little higher....

| Believe it or not Uni used to brush her own teeth. Now not so much. =/ We used to put toothpaste on those double ended brushes and she's just sit there and chomp on it like a bully stick. When the brush go gross we'd just get her a new one. She doesn't like it anymore. I thought she got sick of the toothpaste, so Iswitched it up. Now we use CET chicken flavor, she tolerates it. And I use the tiny fingertip brush. Not the one that looks like a thimble and is soft rubber, that thing she thinks is a toy. The one that actually looks like a regular toothbrush but just tiny. I also use Petzlife spray. Uni is 5 and has never had a dental. Her last vet visit they said her teeth still look great, and I am not that good about brushing her teeth. I really think the spray works. Scraps hates them all.

| Is the water additive even safe? I remember getting a sample pack of the CET aquadent or whatever and someone warned me not to use it. Does anyone use it?

| I personally am not comfortable with them but many use water additives. You want to make sure the one you use does not have alcohol and xylitol (think that's how its spelled) in it.
