I have been very very busy with a new buppy and finishing up 2 books which will appear this summer but I had to reply to advice sought for tooth brushing.<BR>
<BR>
We put good stinky dog toothpaste (peanut butter or beef or chicken flavor) on cheap children's toothbrushes (4 for $1.00 at the Dollar store on occasion) and YES everydog has their own toothbrush!<BR>
<BR>
My dogs line up and wiggle and drool and can't wait for their turn! Now the older dogs do teach the younger ones - but I have buppy #3 in 4 years and Bruno also can hardly wait for his turn to have his teeth brushed!<BR>
<BR>
I paste up all the brushes - the dogs are all drooling in the kitchen by this point - and I brush each one in his turn. 5 Bassets and 1 Dachshund. I have been told it is a sight to see altho I am too busy brushing to notice. I don't care if I get 2 teeth or a whole mouth - we do it every night after dinner and then they get a carrot treat when we are done.<BR>
<BR>
The Dachshund still needs annual teeth cleaning (Wienie dog mouth, I am told) but my 10-year old Duffy, has never needed a tooth cleaning, and, of course, the 2-year old, 3-year old and 6 month old have never had their teeth cleaned. We have done 16 year-old Charles' about 4 times, but only when he has needed to be knocked out for another procedure.<BR>
<BR>
That is my story and I am stickin to it as truth is stranger than fiction, I do believe! <BR>
