| Honestly, it varies. It depends on how long they LET me!

| Yup as long as he will let me. Was just put the finger in the mouth for a few seconds everyday. Now I actually brush each side 10-15 secs each before he gets tired. I'm using a finger brush now. That way I can feel if he fights better and don't jab with the tooth brush. But Moki is a pup. My previous dogs after months and months I could brush as long as i want. Consistency and little at a time |

| Most of the time a minute is about all either one of them will tolerate. Jada is closer to the 30 second mark

| Teeth brushing We are doing better with the teeth brushing. I let Sasha lick the toothpaste first as she considers it a treat then brush her entire mouth in less than a minute and then put some more on the toothbrush to let her lick it as a reward. Works great, |

| The Sonicare has a 2 minute timer. I brush for the full 2 minutes. If I see a spot that needs extra work then I give it another 30 seconds. Sonicare does about 10 minutes worth of brushing in the 2 minutes timespan tho. Vet looked at Sugar's teeth today, 2 years after her dental, and said she is good to go another year

| I put less than 30 seconds because I don't "brush" them I use the Clean Teeth gel by TropiClean and give them DentaStix and bully sticks.

| Not very long! 30-40 seconds max. Then I rub a little petzlife gel on. I figure it's better than nothing!

| Less than 30 seconds. We've been brushing for a couple of weeks now. I'm hoping with time he'll let me brush longer! |

| Well, I brush (total...all sides, front and bottom combined) for about 2 minutes or so, I guess. Never really timed. it. I do, also, rub her teeth with some dental wipes afterwards.

Nena let's me brush her teeth without any fight. Rufus on the other hand...hates it when I brush his teeth. He runs away when he sees me come with the brush and toothpaste..
