My pup hates the fingerbrush too. He doesn't let me get near his teeth with anything. Here is what finally worked for me: I took a regular toothbrush and allowed him only to have it right before bedtime while I could watch him and I gave it to him like a toy. He LOVED it!!! He went "to town" just chewing away on the toothbrush like crazy. So for about 3 nights in a row, I just let him chew on the toothbrush while I supervised right before bedtime. Then I began putting a tiny bit of PETZLIFE or toothpaste on the bristles before I gave it to him. He just licked it cautiously at first and then started chewing away like crazy on it again. It's worked like a charm...he literally brushes his own teeth and has no idea. Believe me, he may not get every single tooth but he moves it from side to side and holds it with his paws....he gets those darn teeth better then I ever could. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you!
