Toothbrushing Made Easy!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LuvMySissy · 02-03-2007, 07:31 AM

Although I don't have any problem getting Sissy to lick the PetzLife Gel from my fingers and I can wipe it on her teeth, she hates to have her teeth brushed. And with Angel I have to wrestle with her just to get the gel in her mouth.

But then I wound these toothbrush heads that were new, but from a while ago and an old Cybersonic tooth brush and I thought they were just their size, so I gave them each one and they've been doing this now for 1/2 hour. Should have thought of this a long time ago!!!

LOL, Jodie your a genius!
They look so adorable burshing their own teeth. Those pictures
are the cutiest.
That's what's nice about having a little one. Buddy would eat the
whole thing in less than 5mins.

HAHAHA...love the pics! Jodie - what a great idea! I'll have to try that, thanks!!!!

Gracie2006 · 02-03-2007, 07:48 AM

That is pure genius. So all I have to do is get out the pet size toothbrush, or use a child's brush, put the paste on and let Gracie have at it! This would be much cheaper than using electric toothbrush heads.

What an Absolutely FANTASTIC idea!!!!!

The pictures are adorable!

DENISE517 · 02-03-2007, 07:56 AM

That is a great idea!!! Maddie hates having her teeth brushed. Looks like they are becoming great friends. Side-by-side brushing there teeth. Too Cute!!

How cute!! What a fantastic idea. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing the great pics.

Gracie2006 · 02-03-2007, 08:33 AM

As we speak, Gracie is sitting next to me, chomping away on her toothbrush with pet toothpaste, enjoying herself immensely! Better than a bully stick!

OKAY ....now that is a GREAT idea!!! I am off to copy you now.

Grayson's mom · 02-03-2007, 08:47 AM

What a great idea!! We will have to try this, by the way they look so cute holding their little tooth brushes!!

Gracie2006 · 02-03-2007, 09:27 AM

Gracie worked on hers for 30 min or so, than ran off with the brush. I will have to go find it. I feel fairly confident that her teeth got a good scrubbing. What a hoot! My vet is going to love this! One minor problem, at this rate she will go through a toothbrush every two days. I guess I will have to search Ebay for a case of cheap toothbrushes!

Glad to know Gracie liked the idea!! I did't even put toothpaste/gel on the brushes. And since I already had the heads from an electric wand i'm no longer using - it didn't cost me anything extra!!

I'm definately stealing that idea for Mr. Biggs, he absolutely hates to have his teeth brushed! THANKS!

Bama Yorkie Mom · 02-03-2007, 09:57 AM
