Brushing their pets' teeth every day is not an easy task for many people. I'm certainly one of them. I am aware of the importance of taking good care of our pets' oral hygiene, and I do check my dog's teeth and gum lines daily. But I have to admit - there are times that it feels like a chore, especially when I know my dog is not cooperative.

For people who would like to learn more about how to brush their dogs' teeth more efficiently, watching a live video demonstration is helpful.

Gwen Rosewater, an artist and my dear friend, has made a video showing how to brush a dog's teeth thoroughly, while handling the dog's body gently. You can learn through her demonstration how to help your dog accept brushing. The video is great - you'll find it's much easier to learn this way than just by reading written instructions. You can watch the video on her web page: www.iconicdog.com/Rescue.html

I hope you will make a positive step forward towards taking better care of your dogs' teeth and gums after you watch her video!

Prevention of a problem is easier and cheaper than fixing the consequences.
