We had it done on the rottie a few months ago. It went fine for her. They put her to sleep because I can't imagine a dog keeping their mouth open wide enough for the vet to clean tartar off. Sheila

Do you use a finger brush or a long handled one. Just recenly, I've noticed a lot of tartar on my baby's teeth. I'm having a few problems with the brushing: 1) I can't seem to get his mouth open wide enough (or long enough) to reach his back teeth. I think it's because he has an overbite. 2) He keeps moving his tongue around and it's in the way of me reaching his teeth. how frequently do you get your dogs' teeth cleaned professionaly? Has anyone done the kind of cleaning where they don't put your dog to slee? How did that go? Thanks
