At first Cerise fought me when it came to brushing her teeth. But she has relaxed a bit and holds her head back now so I can really brush them. I use the smallest toddler toothbrush and
very tiny amount of non fluoride Tom's of Maine childrens toothpaste. It does not contain flouride or xylitol. I don't think the ingredients on the Dog toothpaste that I have seen is better for them because of all the chemicals listed in it. I don't believe in flouride, not even for humans. She doesn't drink tab water for that same reason. It's amazing how it's advised to use a Dog tootpaste because of flouride but never not to give them flouride filled tab water
I truly believe some products labled for Dogs are not good and are made just for $$$, especially when they are full of chemicals or processed foods. That includes all the cheap toys, especially the ones made in China. China didn't care about the poison paint, dye or materials used in childrens toys, so you know they don't care about it being used in pets.
