What do you guys use to brush your dog's teeth?
What do you guys use to brush your Corgi's teeth? There are so many products out there and I'd like to narrow down.
What products have you used and liked?

I've used both Nylabone and Petrodex brand pastes and they both seem to get the job done. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably say Petrodex as far as cleaning goes, but maybe that's because the dogs like the taste a bit more than the Nylabone stuff, hehe. They "help" more with the cleaning by chewing the brush a bit. Though, I should note, they go bonkers for both of them.

I have always used four paws tooth paste/tooth brush kit. Baden likes the taste, as he gets so excited when he sees the toothbrush, and it freshens his breath very well

I really like the CET Toothpaste. CET has a whole line of dental stuff. However, I think if you brush your dog's teeth that is the best way to keep their teeth clean. I like the vanilla mint flavor the best as it actually makes their breath smell nice! My corgis have had all the flavors and they like them all. I think they like mint the best though.

Arm and Hammer dog toothpaste from PetSmart... Smells like chicken, and Bogart likes the taste. However, he gets ProDen Plaque Off sprinkled on his food every morning and even though I had a hard time believing this product would work, it really does. Google it and you can read testimonials from all corners of the world. He has perfect teeth and great breath. An all natural sea weed... I still brush the teeth once a week just because I like to check to make sure none are cracked or broken, and I want Bogart to be comfortable with me examining and brushing.

I just use raw knuckle bones so Franklin does his own brushing. With any type of bone there is a risk of broken teeth but I think the risk with the raw knuckle portion is fairly minimal since the bone easily scrapes away. I generally do one bone every week or two and let him have it for about an hour at a time. He loves it and I don't have to do any work :-) He is five and has perfect teeth.

Out of curiosity, where do you let him gnaw on it? I've been wanting to try a knuckle bone for Yuki & Ellie, but I sort of dread having to thoroughly disinfect my kitchen floor every day. Maybe towels will help? Outdoors isn't really an option where I live, especially this time of year when the high is sometimes only -10°F.
Also, do you keep it frozen or thawed for the week or two that it takes him to get through it?

Mine do not like nor will they tolerate me trying to brush their teeth. I had both of them for cleaning back in the spring. Then I started them on that ProDen stuff along with hard chews for cleaning. Neither of them have any plaque starting to build again at all. I also use the ProDen for the cats...I could see a build up staring on them. Their teeth are now clean.

Ours love Petrodex. I have also tried using a Sonicare electric toothbrush.

Wait, what? Really? I've thought it would be good to try an electric toothbrush, but have been afraid of losing an arm. Like Linda's dogs Cassie does not appreciate having her teeth messed with. She will let me clean her teeth with a Petsmart doggy toothpaste or a small amount of baking soda and one of those rubber over-the-finger thingies.
Her teeth don't seem to accumulate much plaque. The vet has remarked on this. I think it's a function of feeding her real food.

I use C.E.T. toothpaste and a soft-bristled kid's spin brush (Dora the Explorer, no less! It was on clearance). Sophie does not like the feeling of a regular toothbrush and the back-and-forth brushing movement but will tolerate a spin brush.
