Hi Chris,
I know it sounds like I am way over the top with the flossing!!
I sort of stumbled onto it one day. I had just brushed Nubi's teeth
and washed his under eyes with witch hazel, as I do every night, and
there was a bag of my daughter's flossing sticks on the bathroom
counter. There was some food stuck in Nubi's teeth and I just grabbed
one out of the bag, and slipped it between the teeth. It was so
simple, I just whipped through the rest of the teeth, and know he's
used to it.
I think the vet smiled a little when i mentioned it to her!!
