Sometimes I help her with pulling gently but for the most part, she does it on her own. 
Maybe the product has something to do with it? I use this Cain & Able Kissable (Vanilla flavor) one available at Petco: KissAble Doggie Dental Kit at PETCO
I usually brush my teeth (electric brush) at the same time and she loves that. I have been considering switching to the electric one available at Petsmart (see below) however, I certainly do not want to jinx her already great habit.  Petosan Silent Power Toothbrush for Dogs - Health Care - Dog - PetSmart
Her brushing has also helped with her current teething. When she gets a loose tooth, we go to brushing a bit and it helps to remove it so she is more comfortable.
Hope this helps!  |
Can I use one toothbrush for my yorkies, or I should have separate ones?
Also, I might get a maltipoo because my friend's mom no longer wants theirs. Do you think my yorkie babies will get along with him?
