Dogs

In order to keep our teeth and gums healthy, we brush our teeth every day, but do dogs need to brush their teeth? The answer is yes, but we don’t have to brush our dog’s teeth every day, just once a week is enough.

If you want to easily solve the problem of brushing your dog's teeth, the first thing you need to do is buy a toothbrush and toothpaste designed for your dog. The bristles of the dog toothbrush are very soft to protect the dog's gums and not irritate them. If the dog is still young, you may choose to use a finger toothbrush, but for adult dogs, it is best for the owner to use a toothbrush with a handle. In addition, since dogs do not spit out foam after brushing their teeth like us, it is very necessary to use a suitable toothpaste for dogs. Dog toothpaste is non-foaming and edible. Some toothpastes also add flavors of chicken or peanut butter that dogs like, making it easier for owners to brush their dogs' teeth.

To achieve the most ideal cleaning effect, the owner must also master the correct brushing method: tilt the toothbrush at 45° to the teeth, and gently brush the teeth in a circular motion, which not only avoids harm to the dog oral skin, and can also effectively remove dental plaque. If you find that your dog has a small amount of bleeding when brushing his teeth, you don’t need to panic. This is a normal phenomenon. However, if the bleeding is excessive, it indicates that there is a problem with the dog’s gums, and you need to take it to the pet hospital for treatment.

When you brush your dog’s teeth for the first time, they may be very uncomfortable. You may wish to brush only a few teeth first, and then gradually extend the time to allow your dog to gradually adapt to the process of brushing. You must be gentle when brushing your dog's teeth. Once you hurt your dog, it will be more difficult to get them to behave themselves next time. If your dog starts to show worries while brushing its teeth, you might as well try to comfort them with words. Many dogs will calm down, but there are also some dogs that simply ignore their owners' comfort and become more worried or annoyed. , at this time, you should not forcefully continue brushing the dog’s teeth. You may wish to brush again after two days. After a period of adaptation, dogs will become accustomed to brushing their teeth. If you forget to brush their teeth, they may even remind you!
