So it can't be swallowed in large or concentrated amounts (there is a huge debate about why it is in toothpaste and the water supply at all). So anyway, a little Yorkie swallowing enough to brush with would be a huge problem.
So xylitol is the only sweetener we have to worry about? Didn't realize that about fluoride, I know it really helps with preventing tooth decay, not that dogs have to worry about that.
