Just over a week ago we blogged about how to take care of your dog’s teeth and one of them, of course, is brushing them. Now let’s go over this a little further.
1.This is something you would want to start early with your dog as a puppy! That is the very BEST tip we can give you. If you start early you would be able to prevent any problems and be able to let your dog get used to it.
2.Make sure that you pick the right tooth paste for your dog – Do NOT use regular human toothpaste for your dog. Most human toothpastes include fluoride, which is extremely poisonous to dogs.
3.Chewing bones and chew toys can clean teeth – Giving your dog a good bone to chew on can help get rid of build up and keep teeth strong, but it shouldn’t stop there, brush them thoroughly.
4.Know when to see a veterinarian. Here are some signs that you should:
Bad breath
Change in eating or dog chewing habits
Pawing at the face or mouth
Excessive drooling
Missing teeth
Discolored, broken, missing or crooked teeth
Red, swollen, painful or bleeding gums
Yellowish-brown tartar crust along the gum line
Bumps or growths within the mouth
