| I bought a small doggie toothbrush and some doggie toothpaste ... then I put them in a football hold and just went for it They hated it !! They squirmed and huffed and puffed about it but I just kept taking breaks and eventually after about the third/fourth time or so they would let me brush atleast a minute or so. Afterwards they get a treat. I still don't get the backteeth very well so we use petzlife gel and that seems to be working for us.

Petzlife is the best brand you think? I think I'll take a trip to the pet store tomorrow and see what I can find. I just KNOW she WILL NOT sit still for it. I guess I'll just do what you did, and hold her tightly (probably have my bf do it), and just try to get it done. We have a golden retriever (he's actually my boyfriends), but he's older (about 9) and has terrible plaque. I am terrified of trying to brush his teeth though, so I'll just start with Lola so she doesn't get to that stage later on in life. Thanks so much for your help!!! | |

| Oh yes Peanut huffs and puffs and gets all mad at me too!! But he deals with it Mommie and Daddy have to hold a 3 lb yorkie to brush his teeth!! Its worth it, he can deal with 2 mins of us doing something he isnt happy about for the quality of his teeth
