Cleaning dog teeth with electric toothbrush - Honey the Great Dane

was honey on a drip? Looks like she had her leg shaved :-( Hope she is ok.

@msalibella Thanks for your concern! Yes, she was anaesthesized - she went in to have some small suspicious lumps removed (non-cancerous yet!) + also got her teeth cleaned at same time, as she had some tartar. She is on the Raw Diet & chews raw bones regularly so her teeth are generally v good but after 8yrs, there was some build-up which needed to be removed. Which is why we're so much better now about brushing her teeth - ha! ha! - as we want to save her having another dental

@hsinyicohen If you had been following Honey's blog, you would have read all about it - with all the photos, etc. Vets were really nice & took my camera and took photos during the procedure, for me to post on Honey's blog! :-) All videos I post here have background stories on the blog. URL is in the info section - look in the right sidbar: Honey's Blog Archives -> Oct -> scroll down, click on 'Older Posts' -> the post is called "Lights! Anaesthetic! Scalpel...and Toothbrush!"

Honey is so patient and calm, she is just lovely :) I think my dog would hate that toothbrush! lol She is scared of anything that makes noise :(

I just tried video taping doing Isabella's teeth with her new electric toothbrush but I had to hold my iPhone while keeping my hands free to do the brushing.... that was fun. GREAT to see this. Thanks for posting.

Both our labradors are terrified of my electric toothbrush. They hate that vibrating sense against their skin, and now they even back away when they see me grabbing the tooth brush (without even turning it on)

8 years old and still one of the most beautiful dogs I have seen. She is amazing.
