So my question is, is that how you "brushers" feel? Or have I just not got the hang of it??

Last Friday my vet told me to just put the toothpaste on my finger & rub it on the teeth until he gets used to the actually brushing with the toothbrush.
he said there is something in the toothpaste to get rid of tartar buildup & even if you just rub it on the teeth with your finger it still works. I can never get him to open his mouth enough when using the brush to get his back teeth & this is easier. Hope this helps you with your little one.
