I love brushing my dog’s teeth ~ said no one, ever!

When I found this DIY homemade toothpaste it made all the difference

Trying to be a good mom to my now four Chi’s meant trying to keep their teeth and gums healthy. THAT meant brushing daily. What a struggle! It started with struggling with them daily, to every other day, to weekly, to monthly to NEVER!

I don’t like to admit that, but, there it is. I am pretty sure that I’m not alone in that.

Then, a lifesaver came along. I found a DIY homemade toothpaste. It is fantastic! No more struggling to brush their teeth, or worse, feeling guilty for NOT brushing their teeth.
