Brushing Ruby's Front Teeth Video

Hi,

Here is a short video clip on how I am brushing Ruby's front teeth using the special dog toothbrush and the oral gel.

According to the pet shop salesgirl's own experience, it will take at least 30 days of brushing before I can see some results.




So stay tune and I will update you of any progress made.

Dog Toothbrush

Hi,

As mentioned in my earlier post, I have decided to start brushing Ruby's teeth as her front canine teeth need some help.

I have bought this new dog toothbrush, as recommended by my regular pet shop salesgirl who has used it on her dog.





I think this is a newer design compared to those I saw years ago.



There is also a 3-headed brush but there are not fused together at the neck so it is not so hardy and difficult to control during brushing.



















So with this new toothbrush and the existing oral gel that I already have bought, I have started brushing Ruby's teeth this afternoon.

I will take some photos and make a video of the brushing process so stay tune here.


I hope to see some difference after 30 days of brushing.

Brushing Dog Teeth

Hi,

I was browsing around the pet shop that I frequent, and started to chat with one of the salesgirls there.

We were sharing our experiences on how to maintain our dogs teeth.

I saw some new brushes and tooth paste and also a solution to be diluted with water for the dog to drink.

She was telling me that she finds it every effective to brush her dog teeth with the oral gel I mentioned in my earlier post though it is expensive. It took about a month to see the results but she was happy with it.

The solution to control tartar is not that effective.

Though I think Jack and Ruby teeth are reasonably maintained, I decided I will go back to doing some brushing as recommended by the girl.




This is the oral gel we were referring to, I wrote about it in my earlier posting.

I am still using it but not regularly so I have to get back to it again, but I will buy a toothbrush rather than use my finger.....ha...ha....













Stay tune, I will update you on the progress ...
