| when to start brushing my puppy's teeth? Hi everyone. I was just wondering when is a good time to start brushing my 10 week old puppy's teeth. I bought him his toothbrushs today but not sure if he's to young for the toothbrush. I read both the box and toothpaste bottle to see if there is any age requirements and it doesn't mention it.. any advice would truly be appreciated, he's my first Yorkie so I'm trying to do everything I can and read everything to make sure he is in good health. Thank you.. |

i think you can start now. if he seems nervous about the toothbrush just let him lick the toothpast off the first couple times then just do the the front teeth till he gets used to it and work your way back | |

| Start now! Here is a link to a board certified vet dentist who has some great tips on why you should start now and how to go about getting your dog to accept brushing! http://veterinarydental.com/owners/a...nd-Puppies.pdf
