"Dental care for dogs"

Hey Shorty,

My parents insist on brushing my teeth, but I hate it, how can I get them to stop?

Signed,
Perfect Teeth
 

Dear Perfect Teeth:

I don't have any good news for you on the tooth brushing front.  I chose your letter this month because I just had to have my teeth professionally cleaned.  You can read about that here: Bad Week

If you want to keep those perfect teeth they need to be brushed.  If your teeth are not cared for they can become painful, infected and even fall out.  No fun playing tug if you don't have any teeth, not to mention my favorite thing - eating.

Mom does her best to make it pleasant, she always gives me a taste of the toothpaste first and afterwards we always go for a walk.  Do make sure it is toothpaste for dogs (human toothpaste is bad for us), they even make it in beef and chicken flavor.

 

Have a question for me? Please send me a note at
