My vet recommends this:
1. put some pet toothpaste on your finger & rub it on their teeth
2. gauze wrapped around your finger w/some pet toothpaste on it
3. finger toothbrush w/pet toothpaste on it to clean the front teeth & pull the side lip back to expose the back teeth & rub it gently on the surface
4. by this time, they'll be used to having things of different textures in their mouth & will accept the toothbrush
You can also start off w/the loofa glove/ cut off fingers like Doodle bug suggested. Could you post a link to what it looks like? The loofa glove? |
Look at the second glove. You can find them anywhere. Even Big Lots has them. Make sure you are using a light touch or you may make the gums bleed because they are a little rough.
