Last Homework - Brushing Teeth

Wow, great job everyone! Look at how far you have come! So final lesson. Apply toothpaste onto the toothbrush and brush teeth. 2-3 times per week, less than 10 seconds to do the entire mouth. Really concentrate on the large canine teeth in front and the large teeth in back- the teeth in between will get toothpaste on them. Do NOT worry about the inside (tongue) side.

Success points-

-If you are able to get the pet to lick the toothpaste you are successful
-If you are able to apply toothpaste to the inside of the mouth without toothbrush spreading it around the teeth you are successful
-If you can apply toothbrush/toothpaste combo into mouth you are successful

Any of these 3 options will dramatically improve your pet's oral health, over-all physical health, and extend time between professional cleanings (and keep more money in your pockets!)

Get ready for our next round of classes- How to Trim Nails (stop it right now, I hear you out there- yes you can!)
