How to brush your dog's teeth
- Using toothpaste made for dogs, begin by letting the dog taste the paste, which will be chicken flavored or flavored with something else they like.
- When the dog is used to that, carefully spread some paste on one tooth, near the gum line where plaque collects. The dog will probably lick most or all of it off, but that's okay.
- If the dog accepts the paste on one tooth, do more of them. You can apply with a toothbrush for dogs, but you don't have to actually brush. Dog toothpaste is meant to dissolve the plaque just from contact with the tooth.
- For serious plaque or decay on your dog's teeth, a veterinarian should be consulted. You will see the brown or black colored decay. Your dog's breath may also be much worse than it was when they were younger.
