toothbrush & toothpaste i want to get in the habit of brushing riley & maddie's teeth daily but i don't know where to begin! what do yall use for your babies teeth?! i need suggestions and advice! :eek: |
Petzlife - this is absolutely the best product I believe. Lots YTers would agree PetzLife Products Inc - Products For a Healthier Pet My vet carries it & some local pet food stores - check around. Also, sever YT vendors sell it. You can use a toothbrush or just apply with your finger and it will go to work. Check out the before & afters on their website |
i would be VERY careful with the Petzlife... some contain alcohol which is a HUGE no no. I dont' use it personally. I use an infant toothbrush because they are nice and small= ok and the designs are cute too :p and I use an all natural toothpaste. It isn't as effective as other toothpastes but i know it is better for her. |
An enzamatic toothpaste is the best thing to use. You could start by just wrapping a peice of gauze around you finger. There are also very small pet toothbrushes ans finger brushes that slip over the fingertip. The enzamatic toothpaste I am now using is beef flavored and my dogs love it. I also spray once a day with clorhexadine rinse my vet recommends. I have tried the petzlife and found it to not be effective |

We use a kids toothbrush and CET Vanilla-Mint toothpaste. Ellie gets OraVet once a week and her teeth are flossed at least once a week. |

I would be interested to know this as well...it's hard enough brushing their teeth...but FLOSSING?!?! |
Quote:
Most of the time she just chews on the floss and slides it between her own teeth (so cute). It looks like she knows how to floss herself.:p I just hold both ends for her while she is laying on her back. After she plays for a minute I really do try to floss them and get my fingers chewed up in the process. I figure a little bit is better than nothing. For what it's worth, I cleared it with Ellie's vet before doing it and she said it was fine as long as it isn't swallowed, so you really have to make sure you're holding it tight. |

Right now we are use the CET vanilla mint toothpaste, OraVet and MaxiGuard. The MaxiGuard is like a gel. |
I use this: Farnam Easy Brush Dog Toothbrush Small.Medium it's the only thing that Genghis will go for. I use it with beef flavored toothpaste. It's great. |
