Lulu’s Success Story & How You Can Get Your Pet’s Smile Springtime-Ready!

At Wagnolia, we see it all the time—pet parents want to build a solid toothbrushing routine, but actually doing it? That’s the tricky part. Some pets resist mouth handling, others chomp on the toothbrush like it’s a toy, and some just take off running at the first sight of toothpaste. Sound familiar?
That’s exactly why we launched the Fresh Smiles Challenge—to help pets (and their humans!) turn dental care struggles into stress-free routines. And guess what? It works.
Meet Lulu: From "No Way" to "Okay, Fine"
Lulu Silvernell’s owner, Andrea, started this challenge knowing they had work to do. Lulu hated mouth handling, refused to be wrapped in a towel for brushing, and only tolerated toothpaste (because, well, it’s tasty). Brushing? Not happening.
But instead of forcing it, we created a plan that worked for Lulu, not against her. A few simple adjustments made all the difference:
✔️ Swapping a toothbrush for dental wipes, which felt way less intimidating.
✔️ Introducing the burrito method (aka towel wrapping) slowly, with positive reinforcement.
✔️ Using a tracker to monitor progress and celebrate small wins.
Fast-forward a few weeks? Lulu willingly lets Andrea handle her mouth, accepts the wipes, and actually recognizes brushing time as part of her routine. Huge win!
