Ever wonder how a dog's teeth get cleaned? Believe it or not, Shasta's vet recommends that once in a while to brush his teeth as you would a childs...gently, and with a little brush, and a dab of paste.

Now, those who have met Shasta, know that this act goes over like a fart in church...so you can get a pretty good idea as to what happens, when it is time for his weekly cleaning.

It dawned on me tonight that he has not had his teeth brushed in sometime...so I go get the brush, the paste, and a 'rinse bowl'. I sit down beside him, and try to get him to lay down.

He ainna' having NONE of that noise...as soon as he sniffed the paste, it was on! :lol Chasing him around the house, and finally pinning him down in the kitchen, we began the weekly struggle of keepin his teeth white, and his breath Colgate fresh! :laughing

Long story short...Me 1, dog 0. Course, now for some reason, I have water all over the kitchen floor, and a mopping I must now go! :laughing

What other kind of escapades does your pet put you through...and no Kim, I do NOT want to hear about Bales yacking in ones bed, again! :lol :redflip

Lexie tries to hide from my Dad when it's time for her bath. She hates getting in but once in she's fine.

My mutt doesn't do a whole lot except for play with his chew toy, the coffee table. I can't pull your trick yet Shawn so i just let him pull me around on the bike.

Our vet recommends "greenies." They're pressed in the shape of a toothbrush. We get them from Pet Essentials at Rea Road @485. They clean their teeth and contain chlorophyll. Haven't had any problems. My wife spoils her in a major way. She does like our morning breath for some reason. Okay, that's saying too much.

Let me get this straight...

you were bored so the 1st thing to come to mind was wrestle with your dog till he relented, pin him to the wet and slippery kitchen floor, probably straddling him from behind, knees pinched tight at his side to hold him still, fist full of fur from the nape of his neck, while you forced his mouth open and proceeded to go to town!

Im only guessing! :redflip :crackup :crackup

Why in the world would a dog need chlorophyll? Is he into photosynthesis? :confused

After about 2 times of trying it with my mut, I gave up. I throw him a rawhide bone every so often and that does a pretty good job of keeping the teefers clean.

yeah

that opening struggle sounds a lot like what we go through to get our 11 year old DAUGHTER to brush her teeth, too:rolleyes :shake :confused

Hey Lucy...you got's some 'splainin' to do! Share the knowledge brah...what are these things, how much do they cost, and what does the vet say about them?

This brushing his teeth once a week is killing me! :laughing
