Zeke and Sum love to have their teeth brushed, so it’s not a struggle to get them involved in the process.

The challenge is that they both have tiny little corn niblet teeth that are hard to find in their cavernous, gummy catfish mouths.

Particularly Sumner.

He’s all lips:

We actually have to move his flews out of the way and hold them up in order to access his teeth:

Chicken-flavored toothpaste is a must – they consider it a delicacy. They try to make a meal of it as we brush:

After the obligatory feasting we get down to bindess:

Tooth brushing isn’t a chore in our house because the guys actually enjoy the process. That’s not true of all dogs, though. Problems arise when you try to wrestle your dog into submission in order to clean his teeth ... if you take it slowly, use a tasty toothpaste and a gentle hand, the process will be a snap.

And hey, your dog might enjoy brushing so much that he’ll do it himself, like Sumner!
