I think I'm going to try the Petrodex toothpaste. Mocha really hates the Petzlife and will NOT put up with it
How do you get their mouth open though to start brushing? It's like Mocha's mouth is glued shut when he knows I want to brush his teeth lol.

Eventually, you'll be able to do the whole mouth. Eddie sometimes runs away from me when he sees the toothpaste, but once I catch him he's fine with it.
I don't remember the sneezing. If it continues, you might try another brand. I use petrodex poultry flavor, and they think it's candy. It may not be as good as the stuff you're using, though. |
