| Brushing Teeth: Do you I really make an effort to brush his teeth daily, but there are days that I skip. He doesn't mind at times and other times we have a battle with it....and especially at bath time when he's really wanting to get out of that tub (sink). When he was a pup, I used the finger brush. And when I replaced his brush last year, I got that double brush. Nothing really is tolerable at times with him, so what do you all do in this situation~? I give up and give him a dental nylabone. |

| Callie is a big chewer so I just brush once a week and put on oravet. My system worked for a 5 years almost 6 but then she broke her tooth (not from bully sticks) and when they fixed it they went ahead and did a dental. The dentist said it was hard to see her tarter, they had to use a special light to see it. If I notice her teeth are looking like they need it more I will step up on brushing. It doesn't bother her at all even after her poor tooth trouble.

| Hello - I had never brushed Jack's teeth and wanted to wait until after Izzy had the few remaining baby teeth pulled. Since that has been done, I have been "brushing" there teeth every night before we go to bed for the past oh, about 4 days now. I put a little of their toothpaste on my index finger and rub it again my thumb and just use my fingers right now - no brushes. Maybe go back to doing it that way and also I read somewhere recently to do it at a time of day/night when they are calmer, like right before going to bed. My two are usually "napping" with me or DH before we head to bed so they are more relaxed then. Good luck!

| I brush and sometimes Tibbe's not best pleased but I just go on and get it done. Then we party after and he gets treats and kisses and hugs.
