TropiClean Fresh Breath Dog Toothpaste Kit

Dad

Okay. New thing. What do you think?

Boldo

I think you're trying to ruin my life again. It's a tube and a brush. The tube smells like mint. The brush smells like plastic. I'm not impressed yet.

Dad

I'm going to need more than that. How does it smell?

Boldo

It smells like something that should not be in my mouth. But I sniffed the brush after you put the paste on. There's a weird sweet note underneath the mint. Not entirely offensive. Still suspicious.

Dad

You seemed reluctant to try it. What happened when you did?

Boldo

You put it on your finger and I licked it because you were being annoying. It tastes like chalky mint gum, but less aggressive. I did not gag. Also, where is the treat you promised? That was a long three seconds of brushing.

Dad

Anything about this that actually impressed you? Be honest.

Boldo

I will admit, my teeth felt clean after. And the smell—your breath stopped being offensive for a whole hour. That's rare. I also saw the cat get nothing, which is a bonus. But don't expect me to beg for this.

Dad

Final verdict. Don't hold back.

Boldo

Fine. It works. My mouth feels less like a garbage can. I'll tolerate it if you keep the treats coming.
