| How often do you brush your Yorkie's teeth? As i'm sure we ALL know... brushing your pups teeth is HARD WORK! so how often do you do it? |

| I brush Codie and Tia's teeth every night before bed. They're so use to it that they just sit still and allow me to do it. Tia LOVES the toothpaste (vanilla mint flavor) and always tries to lick it off the toothbrush.

| I don't brush my yorkies' teeth. I'm not interested in trying. I'll let the vet do it when the time comes. |

| Everyday since he's been 14wks. I missed acouple of days but rarely. I also just started using petzlife for added protection. I understand Yorkies loose their teeth early and wanted to do the best to help him keep them as long as possible. |

| I brush Emma's teeth every night before bed. This is part of her "routine" that includes cleaning her face, ears, paws, and butt with a wash cloth, then detangling spray, then a brush and comb through, followed by brushing teeth. Then she gets in her PJ's (either dog PJ's or a baby onesie) and into bed for her! We use the regular flavored toothpaste, and she LOVES it, but we still struggle with her letting me brush those chompers! She has improved since I do it every night...keep trying! |

And yes...all my coworkers think I'm crazy, between all the outfits and routines and the baby einstein music during the day! But I don't care-it works for us right now. She's our furbaby, and we love her! | |

| I brush their teeth every other night. Their teeth are pretty clean and I've just started using Petzlife oral care for some of the back teeth that I can't reach. Fingers crossed that it works.
