Lol....it'll be a first for me! One of the hounds is starting to need it so opting for the ounce of prevention, pound of cure approach to save some vet bills down the line.

my mutt wont let me brush his teeth. i generally give him those dried pig ears as a treat and they loosen the tartar off his teeth. then again those teeth can bite thru anything. inc my bloody mountain bike !!! bad dog bad!!!

Our particular vet says no fluoride for dogs, BUT there are different opinions on that out there.

Main argument against fluoride is that dogs swallow it, so get more fluoride into their systems. So a lower-fluoride toothpaste (never a standard human toothpaste) should be better for dogs.

Also don't brush their teeth twice a day, year in year out. Neither does my apprentice though, but there ya go
