Now that Tuffy's chompers are coming in I imagine that it's time to start a teeth brushing regimen. Any recommendations for how often I should brush? Also any tips for brushing a bully's teeth would be most welcome!
A finger brush and did Q's teeth weekly (with his nails and ears). Q really likes the durable nylabones, and they keep his teeth really clean, so I only brush monthly, now. I also went to a three sided brush. Q is 4 1/2 and has no periodontal disease ( his vet is impressed). :)
I brush Farley and Ida's teeth every day with a toddler toothbrush and CET Vanilla Mint toothpaste. I also work for a Vet so if I took them in and they had bad teeth I would be shot. LOL My Boxer is 5 and she has never needed a dental so that says something.

be sure to use a doggy toothpaste and NOT human toothpaste. I brush my guys once or twice a week, helps their breath.
Thanks for the tips!
I'd read somewhere that you can also use a child's toothbrush with dog toothpaste. I will start with the finger brush to get him used to it!
