Using Petzlife once a week, isn't enough dental hygiene, I recommend using it twice a week and brushing 3 times a week. The Petzlife softens the tartar and the brushing takes it off. You can find inexpensive children's toothbrushes at the dollar store and get a toothpaste made for dogs, Joey loves a poultry flavored one, and because they like the taste of it, they won't fight you as much when you brush. They will chew on the toothbrushes so get several. I also recommend Bully Sticks, because I think the sticks help scrape the teeth.
ok cool ill look into that i have the poultry plavored paste i just have to find the right brush...we had this tooth brush with like 3 brushed in one but its waaaaaayyyyy to bulky so just a regular childrens tooth brush?
