i have tried my dog with dental chews etc before however she doesnt take to them and shows no interest in them at all... so today we bought her a doggy toothbrush and toothpaste, tried putting some of the paste on my finger first n let her lick it off but she wasnt very impressed! tried a tiny bit on the brush but she wont let it anywhere near her mouth.... just wondering if anyone has any alternative ideas?? or ways i can get her to like/tolerate it???

We give ours raw bones,cleans their teeth beautifully

we used to use a toothbrush that you put on your finger that was quite good...thinking about trying 'plaque off ' for my two...not sure if it works?

Her teeth were bad when I got her and brushing helped but not enough so I'm trying this to avoid putting her under for a cleaning

There is something you can put in their drinking water - but I'm to tired to think what it's called at the mo.
I brush Lilly and Zippers teeth but Lilly is still getting some build up so the vet has recomended we try it if brushing isn't working by our next visit.

Never brushed our 5 year old's teeth, a combination of good diet and a good cooked knuckle bone every now and then does the trick - the grinding action scrapes the teeth clean.
Less hassle than toothpaste!

Raw bones twice or thrice a week will do the job
