[nagdu] how to choose toothbrush/toothpaste for dog brushing

[Cindy Ray]

You should actually brush their teeth daily. I don't, just so you know this, and I understand why you aren't. You may have to try several. I tend to get something fairly generic. There are some things you can spray in their mouth. When I do this, then I use gauze or a paper towel, but I am sure the toothbrush is more effective. I think that you have to gradually introduce this to the dogs for it isn't something they love. I think the little finger brush is nice because you have more control over it. I am glad you brought this up as it will yield some interesting technique discussion.

I had relied on the daily dental treats because she was never too inclined to open her mouth to me when she had gotten into something and I said to "drop it"; she just clamped her mouth shut on her prize.
