This is the way we brush your teeth….
filed in Pets Past & Present on Apr.22, 2010
So last week I won a cool giveaway over at Serendipity Is Sweet. (Thanks Melissa!) It was a gift pack from Dentastix….our St. Bernard’s most favorite treat in the whole wide world. (no, seriously, it really is!)
This would be the um…very first time…that we’ve ever attempted to brush our dogs teeth. The dental kit came complete with a doggy toothbrush, paste and even finger toothbrushes…which, thankfully, we did not need. Just sayin.
Everybody was all excited at first and curiosity ruled the roost. The dogs came in close for a good whiff. Smelled good, they said. Shane did his best to demonstrate to the dogs what would be happening…pretending to brush his own canines.
It’s extremely difficult to hold down a saint to brush her teeth, and eventually she sat nicely and let me brush. I think it was because I bribed her with a Dentastix.
Dublin was not diggin the whole ‘let’s brush your teeth’ gig….he was way more interested in the ball that came in the gift pack. Brooklyn really just wanted the treats. All in all it was fun.

Note: Our dogs choose Dentastix over all other treats, I’m totally serious. Even bacon treats. (I’m not just sayin this because I won these, it’s actually true.)

I also won this wonderfulicious prize pack from ChickenNuggestsOfWisdom! (thanks!)
See? Something for the dogs, something for me! LOVE IT! First off, I love me some Fiber One bars. They really are the best bars on the market. No, really they are. And my kids love them, which is equally…if not more…important!
I’m lovin this handy little journal too. I love journals! And they even included a pedometer and water bottle, incase I motivate my self to start walking. I think my son will be using these, as he’s the one with the willpower and runs daily.

Fiber one bars give my husband some righteous gas. They’ve been banned from our house. Sorry Fiber One.

Aw, cute! So glad they are enjoying their treats. My dogs never like having their teeth brushed either. I think that’s a ritual best started when they are puppies.
We love Fiber One bars here too. Congrats on your wins!

Never tried those before, but believe it or not our dogs aren’t really into treats unless it’s a basted pig ear. Oliver goes nuts for those and tennis balls even if they don’t taste like pork.
Congrats on the win!

Just don’t get the treats confused. I’d hate for you to eat Denta Stix and the chocolate…well, we all know about dogs and chocolate.

I thought it was hard to brush the kids’ teeth. I can’t imagine taking on a dog the size of yours!
