My Truffle hates having her teeth brushed as well. I only had her teeth cleaned one time and it was too rough on her. I use LEBA III every day since then and her teeth are sparkling clean. They sell dentaclean, but that didn't work for her. My vet told me if I use the LEBA she should never need her teeth cleaned again - that was 3 years ago.
On my next YT, I plan to try to get them used to brushing as soon as possible. Truffle was an "inheritance" and I got her at 2 when my mother passed away. I think my mother just did not brush her teeth so she didn't get used to it.
I wish she would let me brush, but she is now 9 and still refuses. |
