sorry, I'm of no help... she absolutely refuses to let me. I don't know how a 7lb furball can turn into the tazmanian devil with the strength of superman whenever I try to brush her teeth or even try to put Petzlife gel in her mouth! When she is in my lap, I can look at her teeth, open her mouth, move her lips around, but let her sense I have something to put in her mouth and all bets are off!
the closest I have come is putting the CET toothpaste on a child's toothbrush and holding the toothbrush while she "chews" on it to get to the toothpaste. I squirt it really deep into the bristles so she has to work on it and I move the toothbrush around to different angles. She is 2 1/2 now and I have tried brushing her teeth since she was a baby.. she has never accepted it.
