ok, call me a bad doggie owner but today was my first time brushing maggies teeth (she is 23 weeks old). I was looking for some "all natural" stuff to brush her teeth with and waited until i was comfy with something before i did it. well, I guess i should have started a long time ago, even if it was just using the brush to brush away any extra "stuff" that might be on her teeth...just to get her used to it. I have to say...for a 4 lb ball of fluff, she is STRONG!!! i was so scared i was going to hurt her trying to hold her to brush her teeth. holy MOLY she was so squirmy and just freaking out!!!!!!!! but we did it...got the teeth brushed. i didn't go all out with it and really brush them thouroughly, just kind rubbed the toothbrush on her teeth a little. it was really all i could do...i thought i was going to lose my fingers putting them in her mouth like that. we have 2 other dogs, a min pin and a cocker. the min pin weighing about 15 lbs or so (he's old and fat LOL) and a cocker weighing in at almost 30 lbs. and they were easy
LOL they didn't like it..but they didn't almost take my fingers with them. Ms maggie on the other hand...she put up a good fight
