| Do You Brush Your Baby's Teeth? I brush the teeth of 2 of our dogs. I use a kid's electric tooth brush. They love the chicken flavored toothpaste! So how 'bout you? Do YOU brush your baby's teeth and how long did it take you to train your doggie to "enjoy" it? |

| Yep, I try to brush her teeth every day. I use a baby toothbrush and poultry flavored tooth paste (although she will let me do it even without).

| I found the smallest baby tooth brush I could find and I use the chicken doggie tooth paste. They get their teeth brushed every other day.. |

| I bought a little doggie tooth brush,and some minty paste came with it, but Oh, he wasn't havin' it! Maybe I'll try the chicken flavored kind.. He would lick the paste off my finger, so I think he liked it, but when the brush came out he wouldn't let me get it near his face, Biting at it, he does the same if I try to brush his face.

| Here are two REALLY good threads about brushing your dogs' teeth. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9761 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30448 We brush Sully's every day. He doesn't love it or anything, but he's used to the process by now (before we go to bed at night).

| I brush Mojo's teeth three times a week...every Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Don't ask why I only do it three times or why I picked those days because I couldn't tell you. - it just seemed to work out best for us. He doesn't LOVE it, but sometimes he seems to not mind it as much!

| I do it once a week after she's bathed. I guess I should do it more, but she doesn't really like it. She just wants to lick the toothpaste! I feed her hard food and she has tons of chew toys, so I bet that helps a lot. (I hope!)
