| Stink coming from Sunshine Sunshine smells. I give her a bath, gently wash her face, comb her hair, but her breath really stinks. I think I need to start brushing her teeth. She just turned 6 mos. old. How should I go about brushing her teeth?

| Get some doggy toothpaste. You might want to get a few different kinds at first and see which she likes. Follow directions. Some say use a brush, some say use your finger. you can also use the clicker (if you are started in clicker training) to make her go along with the process more comfortably. |

| If she is teething their breath really smells when they are teething. I use a fingertip brush. Its a little easier but they still fight me when I brush their teeth.

| It really varies per dog. Some dogs retain some of their teeth and have to have them pulled. Chachis rest of his teeth were pulled when he was neutered. I would say by 12 months they should be gone or you may have to have them pulled.

| Try a Crest Spinbrush. I buy the kiddie size. Very gentle and fast. My dogs seem to prefer it to me wielding the brush, once they got used to the noise. |
