You can try your finger with Petrodex Chicken Flavored paste. Then progress to the finger brush and eventually toothbrush. Our guys never tolerated mint or vanilla flavors; they want meat flavor! We used PetzLife in the past for a long time, but it didn't work any better than Petrodex. The spray was very convenient, and does come in Salmon Flavor. I have also used DentAcetic Wipes. We moved up to the Colgate battery-powered brush. The head is slim. After a day of introduction, they got used to it right away. What a fabulous job of cleaning it does! If you're worried about the anxiety, did you ever try Rescue Remedy drops about 30 minutes beforehand. Works wonders for our "Nervous Ned" before nail grinding.
