Thanks everyone for replies! We must deligently watch those teeth, I guess. Also would like to know what a C.E.T. chew is. I use Petrodix chews along with greenies and daily brushing.
Marie! At first I used my finger and put the paste on, and just rubbaed her teeth. Then, I got a finger toothbrush and rubbed her teeth with that, and then the toothbrush. At first, just a swipe or two and praise! praise! praise! Then Hard Treat!! After awhile she will tolerate you brushing them. I got a very small toothbrush at K-Mart. It is somewhat pointed and then you push back the hair around the mouth, and lift the mouth a little to get in. Somewhere I read where it's the front of the teeth that gets most of the tarter build up. So, good luck and I'm sure with constant trying she will eventually let you do it. Snoodles will wait by the sink for me to do it in the morning. It's the hair brushing and nail clipping we are still fighting with. I hope to God she doesn't lose her teeth or break her jaw! That would just freak me out!
