•Step 1: Choose a time when both you and your pet will be relaxed. •Step 2: Choose a brush that is appropriate for your pet’s size. •Step 3: Select a comfortable setting with the pet in your lap, on the floor or on a table. •Step 4: Apply the Keep It Clean toothpaste to the brush. Remember never to use human toothpaste, because it can make your pet sick. •Step 5: Using slow, circular strokes along the teeth and gumline, gently clean each quadrant -- top and bottom, left and right -- about 30 seconds each, reapplying the toothpaste in between each quadrant. Focus on massaging the gum line with an emphasis on the downward stroke. •Step 6: Praise your pet with lots of love and give him a treat for a job well done!

Don't bother. Give him a big raw bone instead, this is how he would naturally clean his teeth. The bone MUST be raw, as it would be if still on the hoof. Cats that hunt and eat their prey do the above anyway but if they don't feed them big chunks of raw meat or fish

I use a tight fitting knit glove instead of a toothbrush. Put the toothpaste between the thumb and index finger then massage teeth and gums between thumb and index finger.

First of all, never use human toothpaste as a dog will swallow whatever you use. Go to a pet shop to get edible toothpaste. You may also need to get a finger brush. You can also get these from the shop, it looks like a long thimble with rubbery 'bristles'. It will definately help! Position yourself and your dog so you can access the dogs teeth comfortably. Lift your dogs upper lips and begin to brush in a circular motion, much like how you would brush your own teeth. Be sure to brush where the tooth meets the gum-line. Don't forget to get the very back teeth. When you are finished the top, move on to the bottom!

I have three dogs and have used proden PlaqueOff powder in their food for about a year. All three dogs teeth have gone from yellow and covered in tartar to being like a brand new set of sparkly whites. It takes about 3 months to see a big difference. I have asked a dentist friend and she says it seems remarkable.
