| Dental Care question? What do most of you do for dental care at home? What treats do you use on your yorkies? My yorkie is PICKY about treats. I like to stick to the ones that promote dental health, but she is not typically nuts about those when I do buy them. i feel like I have bought them all but I know I havn't. lol. ;o)

| We brush using a regular child's toothbrush and CET dental toothpaste. However, recently a member here Sugarmamma posted about the great results that she has had using the Sonic Care toothbrush w/ the compact head on her 3.5 lb dog Sugar. We bought one recently and are trying to get the dogs used to it. I also tried the water additive by Healthy Mouth at the suggestion of a board certified vet dentist but my dogs could not get used to the cinnamon flavor. I might try that again some time.

| We do a few things, I guess (but not all every day). - brush *almost* every day with CET toothpaste (beef flavor). - Petzlife gel (approx 3-4x a week). - HealthyMouth Gel (approx. 1-2x a week). - Proden Plaqueoff (sprinkled on food a few times a week). - bully sticks, Himalayan Chews, CET chews, etc. It all depends on what we're doing, where we're sleeping (we're all over the place, LOL) ... so sometimes if I'm at my dads house, when I'm in school, he won't get his teeth brushed (I often forget his stuff at our house) so I keep the petzlife gel over there to use in replacement, etc, etc....

| Awesome, Thank You! ;) I do brush her teeth but I know not as often as I should. I am always afraid I am going to break a tooth. She is my first dog ever & she's 8lbs, I also use a child's tooth brush. She is real good about me brushing her teeth. she doesn't groul, nip, nothing, its getting to those back teeth that is hard & when I get back there is when she wants to bite down & chew, because it tastes like chicken. lol.at points she will get stubborn like for example if she is tired of the brushing she will keep her mouth shut, just like a little kid & then I have to really pry her mouth open. Thanks for the recommendations on the products you guys use. I will def. get her some tomorrow when I am out shopping. ;O)
