As far as when you should start using it, I think around 7 months of age is good, because they will lose their baby teeth anyway. Twice a week is all you need to use it if you are using it as a preventative. For adult dogs that already have a bad case of tartar, the manufacture recommends daily use, but this is still much safer than the anesthesia, needed for a dental cleaning.
Hmm, I didn't think you were supposed to use it with a toothbrush. It says to just spray or rub a little on their teeth.

Mahina has lost all her teeth, I'm assuming since I have about 14 of them ( didn't get to keep the tiny front ones though ) and I checked her mouth yesterday and all her teeth are BIG! LOL I know for sure all her front teeth are adult teeth, unsure about the back ones. I'll know for sure when she gets spayed on the 12th.

I was thinking I would do it once a week... do you think twice a week would be better?
