My vet advised me recently to brush Sadie's teeth - but I haven't dared yet tell Sadie about this! Her reaction to this shocking affront to her dignity will, I know, ensure that the result will be a failure. I'm trying to improve things by giving her some dried food which is said to be good for teeth and gums, so I'm vainly hoping that things might improve. I know I'll end up doing as the vet says, and suffering in the process.
