Random pm, and my response (quoting an old National Lampoon magazine piece).

Hungh. No response.

So I was scrolling through Facebook and the stupidest product popped up. Well, the stupidest ad at the very least. It was for the Bristly dog toothbrush and the ad starts off by calling toothbrushing with a regular toothbrush “inhumane”.  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bristly-world-s-most-effective-dog-toothbrush#/ First of all. No. If you pin the dog down and force its mouth open and brush its teeth, that would cause a lot of stress but the benefits still sort of outweigh the stress you are causing your dog. 

Toothbrushing with a regular toothbrush if you work your way up to it can get your dog used to you and/or other people opening its mouth and poking around and lowers the stress when those situations are required. Also it gives you a built-in time to inspect your dogs mouth for injuries or evidence of disease. It can improve the bond between you and your dog. And last of all, it is a hell of a lot cheaper than $28 every four months for this convenience product!  

(I am saying this as a criticism on their marketing strategy and the laziness of the general public of dog owners. If you can’t physically hold a toothbrush, this post is not saying you would be wrong to use this product.)

The plant looked bristly but was actually quite soft to the touch. . . . . #plants #bristly #green #wordoftheday #dictionary https://www.instagram.com/p/CcB4QtsuQtu/?utm_medium=tumblr
