| Teeth brushing? Hi guys! I've reseached a lot about this issue, but I still seem to have one question. So, how old should the Yorkie be when you start brushing their teeth? And is there a puppy and adult toothpaste? -Thanks!

| I think the toothpaste is made for all ages. Even though puppies lose their baby teeth it is a good idea to start brushing early, that way they get use to the brushing, rather then starting later and having to fight them to brush their teeth!

| I agree, the sooner they get used to your hands and a brush in their mouths, the better. If the puppy is small, I just put a touch of toothpaste on my finger and rub it around the gums and teeth. I like the toothpaste you get from the vet, I think it is called C.E.T. and comes in chicken and beef flavors. It leaves enzymes in the mouth that help to kill the bacteria that forms plaque on the teeth. But any kind of brushing is better than none at all, IMO.

| Armani and I brush her teeth daily but she does a lot of licking while I brush her teeth - is this common?
