Sandy's weight gain
Sandy's chubby, I'm the first one to admit it. I've tried diet, and increased exercise. While her stamina is getting better, her weight is not. For the record she's been on a raw diet for over a year now, gets plenty of play and a 30 minute walk a day plus play with a flirt pole in...

Brushing Teeth
Does anyone have a way of brushing a dog's teeth so that they can get the back lower teeth? I can get in and get the back top teeth, but I can't seem to keep their mouths open so that I can get that back bottom tooth? Thanks a ton for the help!
