| Enzymatic toothpaste made for dogs. They have it at most petstores. It's usually flavored so that dogs like it. Never use human toothpaste on your dog as human toothpaste should not be swallowed. Unfortunately dogs don't know how not to swallow, so you must use dog toothpaste as that is okay to swallow. You don't even have to brush. Just use a guaze pad over your finger tip and rub the toothpaste on the outside of his teeth. You don't have to do the inside since they will spread it around with their tongue and enzymatic toothpaste will work without the brushing. |

| I use the enzyme toothpaste and put it on a cheap toothbrush and just give it to them. They chew on the bristles and brush their own teeth! I of course keep an eye on them and take it away after about 15-20 minutes. It's funny, Jen likes to shove the handle between the sofa cushions and leave the brush end up and lays down to chew on it. Jolie hold the brush between her paws.

| it sure does work I had tried brushing Bella's teeth and it did not go over very well. Last night after reading your post I put it on the toothbrush and she did it herself. Though I'm not sure how long the toothbrush will last!! Thanks for the idea. Mary |
