I've brushed their whole lives, and it's worked out well. I use that Petrodex chicken flavor toothpaste and a finger brush. I started out with just a little on my finger to get them used to it, then I gradually brushed with my finger. After that, I introduced the finger brush and let them lick a little off first. They don't love the experience, but they tolerate it.
Eddie has needed just one cleaning in 7 years, and Jillie's are looking good after 2 years with no cleanings.
