I know this is silly but I'm just amazed at how the dogs line up to get their teeth brushed now that we use CET. Here are a couple of pics of my daughter getting ready to brush their teeth...(If these are too big Debby can you make them smaller??)

Me first Nicole...me first!!

Guess who won. Ally waiting for her turn...

WoW!!! That is amazing!!! And inspirational.

Thanks for posting that. I've been making a renewed effort to brush my guys teeth and I just bought the CET. Can't wait to try it. Smile

Don't forget the treats. Exclamation

Even with waiting to get them they associate them with teeth brushing Very Happy

What is CET?

So do they actually like the brushing or just the treats? Laughing

Beautiful daughter - love her long, long hair

Check out drawadog's post "Having trouble brushing those cavalier teeth" a couple threads down from here. That's where I learned about CET.

I really think they like the taste of the toothpaste because they come running when we bring it out. Treats always help too Very Happy

Thanks on the complement on Nicole's hair. I'd love to see her get it cut though. It's a bear to get wrapped up when she does horse shows Sad

Another thing to note is I realize that I was half the problem with the dogs not getting their teeth brushed on a regular basis. So now I pay my daughter's $4.00 a week to brush the dog's teeth. They must do it at least 4 times a week or they don't get paid. They get a little money, I don't have to do it, and the dogs have pearly whites and hopefully a good dental appt come Feb!

That is so cool Jackie!! And what a great idea to teach your daughters to do it and pay them for it. I started using the CET last week. I've been brushing teeth for about a year now but haven't used the CET (I use the liquid from the dental wipes I use) but after reading about the enzymes in the CET decided to give it a try. I have to keep shoving Micah out of the way when I'm doing J&S cause he can't wait for his turn. Very Happy

Good timing on this post and thank you for the picture. As I was just informed that unless I do something soon, Tucker will need a dental within six months with a broad range estimate of $350 to $500.00! EEK!

Wish all my cavalier friends lived closer. Nicole could have quite a business!!

Melissa - she actually does a better job then I ever did Very Happy

Cathy - That annoying Ford guy pops up everywhere Wink

Joanne - We had a bad dental last time and with Candle's heart I knew I had to do something. Exclamation

Another subject but does your daughter know how to French braid her own hair? I could video tape and teach her. I just about live in French braids in the summer (so cool it's like having short hair, and can be 'tucked' under too), and I think they look especially nice yet professional when showing.

Sher - We've never tried a french braid on her before shows because she usually has to be at the barn at 6:00 am and we don't have time! We just do a pony tail, braid and wrap it in one of those bows/nets they use in dressage shows. I'd love to see a video if you have time. Maybe with practice we could do it quick Shocked
