Perhaps they didn't want the chew toys coz it lacked flavor. If you can find a knuckle, I can guarantee that your dog will love it. It is very tatsy (Drake thinks it is!)



You can use a tooth brush but be sure that it has very soft bristles. Like a children's soft toothbrush. Be sure that you do not brush too hard. You do not want to cause his gums to bleed. I have also seen people use gauze pads. You take a square gauze pad, wrap it around your finger and rub it in their teeth.

As for the toothpaste. DO NOT USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE, BAKING SODA, AND SALT! Many dogs don't like the foaming action these give, and they may upset their digestive systems.

Do you have a local pet store around? You can find toothpaste there. Your Vet will also be able to tell you where you can get some or may even have some at the office!
