I'm basicly starting over because I tried the regular pet toothbrush (with long handle) and she was having none of that and it was going to be too hard to do anything with her fighting it. It felt like it would be dangerous using that thing with her fighting it so much. She just wouldn't even let me near her with it. I didn't want to ruin being able to brush her teeth at all by forcing it so I didn't really even try that hard. I even just thru it on the floor hoping she'd chew on the bristles. Nope nothing lol!
I was talking with my vet about this last week. She said the finger toothbrush works good and to start out one tooth at a time and give a treat right after. I've also gotten that advice from people here on YT! Just get them used to it first. I also bought the petrodex finger toothbrush and beef flavored toothpaste. I'm starting out by letting her lick just a dot of the paste off my finger first. I make sure she gets flossies or bully stix too. She loves loves the flossies.
