unfortunately, nothing will replace brushing. so you will have to work with her on brushing her teeth. that said. there are products that i would recommend. i use proden plaque off, petzlife gel, CET dental chews and sea Jerky Squares Dental Treats.

for brushing her teeth, use a small tooth brush or even just a q-tip to start with. put the enzyme tooth paste on it, let her sniff it and lick it off. i think all the dogs like the taste of the tooth paste. start with letting her lick it off or the tooth brush or q-tips. then start cleaning just one tooth a day and gradually clean more, make sure it's gradual so she doesn't hate it. milu doesn't like her teeth brushed, but she tolerates it. (still struggles though of course) but i try to clean her teeth a couple times a day if i can, so that her whole mouth gets brushed.

good luck!
