How can I get Popsie to open his mouth to check his teeth? He has no trouble or eating or anything I just wanted to check because he's old.
I've tried to look before but it's hard to get him to open wide.

Checking the mouth

That's such a cute siggy Popsie has! Well, I'd put him up on a smooth, hard surface like a countertop, stand right beside him, and from above and behind, tip his head up and gently grasp his upper jaw. As you tip his head up, his mouth will open, and you'll be able to inspect. That's generally how the vet does it, and it works for us -- most of the time. Good luck!
