I wish Gucci was soooo cooperative! he won't let me touch his teeth with that brush. It's like a fight for his life lol. I haven't gotten it done to my satisfactory for a few weeks now. Maybe 1X out of 5 it's a decent brushing
. I tried the teasing the other night and that didn't quite work either ... but maybe if I keep trying it he will catch on.

I use Petzlife, as well as the Petrodex, and so far so good. I recently started used the fingertip brushes and it gives me greater control. Some people suggest teasing with the toothbrush and making a game out of it. I found as long as there is toothpaste on the brush, Joeys pretty good at allowing me to brush. |
Quicksilver - do you get the mini brushes at the grocery store? Maybe I can try that? My vet suggested baby toothbrushes so that is what I use right now.. maybe a finger brush too..
