[nagdu] How to Get a Dog Used to Teeth Brushing

[debby phillips]

You might start by touching her face, and softly rubbing it, and 
then go closer to her mouth.  Some of the dog toothpastes really 
must taste great, because my dog would freak out wanting that 
toothpaste in his mouth.  With Neena I use wipes that I wrap 
around my fingers.  I'd just start getting her used to you 
touching her face and getting closer to her mouth.  Then 
eventually you can get your fingers between her cheek and gums 
and begin brushing.  I wouldn't use a regular toothbrush.  They 
make ones that you can put on your fingers and they are much 
easier to control.    Peace,    Debby and Neena
