Thanks everyone for the welcomes and tips!
TeresaM - thanks! I forgot to add toothbrushes to the list and yes! I read here about the Cheerios and since I do have kiddos at home we always have Cheerios (and vegetables and fruit for supplementing the kibble) For detangler, do you use doggie detangler or is the stuff formulated for kids ok?
I will post pictures as soon as I can
