OMG! She basically never brushed her teeth!
Anyway, this has opened my eyes and it has occured to me that Daisy's never had her teeth brushed either. She's now over 1 year old.
I've looked a bit into different doggie toothpaste and stuff but can't seem to decide on which brand/company, etc..
Can anyone tell me which they use..toothpaste..and explain a little about your routine (brush once a day, twice a week, etc)
Thx! |
How do Daisy's teeth look? I think that brushing her teeth daily is a good habit to start since yorkies tend to have teeth issues if they are neglected over time. I wouldn't start completely freaking out just yet--she's still young and you can still begin an oral routine with her.
I brush Max's and Abbie's every day with the Petzlife gel--I've even used the spray--and Max's teeth are still funky. He turned 4 in Sept. and has already had his teeth professionally cleaned by the vet twice. He's now due for a 3rd cleaning b/c he has so much tartar buildup. Abbie turned 3 in Oct and she has never had to have her teeth professionally cleaned. The Petzlife seems to work well for her, but not Max. I recently started using Petrodex enzymatic toothpaste for him so I'll let you know if that works.
Hope you find something that works for Daisy.
