| Thinking the brush is too rough.. I brush Gizmo's teeth every night, or every other night depending when I get to bed. But I'm pretty scheduled with it. Well, last night I noticed when I was brushing, that a little bit of blood came back on the brush. I was thinking about maybe buying like a toddler tooth brush. The one I have is a dog brush, but it seems really rough. It came with this crappy tooth paste that I got from Pet Supplies Plus, that I ended up throwing out and buying CET instead. Any one else use a human brush for their babies teeth? His teeth are pretty clean so I'm pretty sure it's not doggy gingivitus.

| Same here....we use a soft small kids toothbrush with CET vanilla mint paste. Kids toothbrushes are cheap and often come in multiple packs, which is good cos ZoE likes to chew on hers and destroys them quickly.

| Toddler toothbrush with CET. Whatever you get, it should be soft bristle. If you were to consistently do it with the soft bristle and the gums continued to bleed, then the vet should take a loook.
