I was just wondering if you enjoy brushing your teeth?
My mom brushes my teeth every morning. She brushes her own and flosses, too. I tolerate the brushing, since she is the boss of me; however, I really don't think I could handle the flossing.
Her fingers would never fit into my mouth to floss, and the temptation to bite down would be overwhelming.
It's probably a good idea to brush, since little dogs do seem to have more teeth issues than larger dogs.
I'm a brachycephalic or flat-faced dog breed and apparently we have issues with our teeth being over-crowded in our mouths, so plaque builds up easier and faster.
The vet has discussed how they clean dogs' teeth, which involves being put to sleep and having them scraped and cleaned. Now THAT is a pretty big deal, so I will continue to tolerate the brushing.
It takes a lot of work and inconvenience to remain handsome and healthy, but I say thumbs up to that!
So, I was just wondering do you enjoy brushing your teeth?
