I use kibble, (doesn't stick to teeth as much) Petzlife spray (soften tartar), and Merrick Bully Sticks (helps scrape tartar and stimulate gums). |
That sounds like the plan I've been trying to get Jackson on. I've been starting to brush once a week. The first few times, I hardly got any brushing done. I barely got the brush in his mouth. He prefers to lick all the toothpaste off. But, for the first few times, I wanted to just get him used to the toothbrush. He doesn't like it all but I'm making him deal. He's only 8 months old right now but I need to start. He chews a lot of bones & bully sticks and eats kibble as well. I also just ordered Petzlife spray online.
