I use one of those finger brushes and poultry flavored doggie toothpaste from PetSmart. Sukoshi loves the flavor of the toothpaste, so the only hassle is actually getting it to the teeth before her tongue has licked it off the brush. I brush her teeth once a week before her bath, and I typically just kneel on the ground with her between my legs. Then, I can lean over her (so she can't get away) and hold up her gums (to expose the teeth) with one hand, while I brush the teeth with the finger brush that's on the other hand. Her tongue is always going the whole time, so I just work around it as best I can. And I always pay the little extra to have her teeth brushed at the groomers (she goes once every couple months) since I figure they'll probably do a better job than I do. |
