| I started brushing when they were babies like 8 weeks old. I use a fingertip brush and Poultry flavored toothpaste. I got it at petco.

| I try brushing his teeth when I give him a bath. Hopefully he will let me. He is just now getting use to taking a bath and some grooming. |

| I just brush them once a day. They get used to it and are better after you have done it a while.

| I also started brushing Lilly teeth at about 8 weeks, I have tried the finger brushed and she hated them so I have a VERY small toothbrush that I use and I use the Poultry flavored toothpaste. I brush once a day. |
