Do you clean their teeth?

I just wondered whether any of you cleaned your dogs' teeth and if so what brush/paste do you use and how often?

Yes, I clean Missy's teeth.
Took her a while to be accepting of it though - and I still only use my finger. Toothpaste is a special dog toothpaste, name escapes me..but its chicken flavoured!

I feed mine on raw, pearly teeth and no bad breath so no need for toothpaste (brought to you by the same companies that make the stuff that causes the problems in the first place)

I feed dry food but my dogs have a chicken wing every morning which keep their teeth wonderfully white. They don`t have snacks or sweets, crisps etc. either, which can cause problems.

Ditto here I have a foster staffy who is fed Arden Grange and you can reall see the difference in the colour of her teeth compared to my raw fed dog.

I used to get down on my knees every evening, to wield a medium toothbrush with "Virbac" toothpaste, until I lost my legs.

The TZBCs are fed on raw mince, and get Dentastix afterwards. The vet still comments on their beautiful teeth, and has been known to say he'd like to borrow the dogs to show other clients what can be done!
