Luckily, the new guy is very compliant and easy to handle, so he's been great about letting me brush his teeth. But I didn't know you can floss, too.
What do you use to floss your dog's teeth? Regular human dental floss? How well does your dog tolerate getting flossed?

My little ones are both 6 now. I have brushed their teeth with CET EVERY DAY since they were babies. This year, they both lost mega amounts of teeth. The vet said it would be even worse without the brushing. I really don't think brushing did any good at all though. It is very discouraging to put so much effort for them, for nothing. Years ago, I had a Maltese, and I did not brush her teeth, but she had much better dental health.
