Brushing Dog teeth


Dogs and cats teeth cleaning can mean the end of your pet’s bad breath but
most importantly, dental care and brushing dog's teeth regularly can improve the
overall health of your dog. One of the most common diseases in cats and dogs is
dental disease, more specifically, periodontal disease.

However with regular dogs and cats teeth cleaning and check ups with your
veterinary, dental disease can be prevented. We can reduce and even prevent
dental disease by feeding a crunchy diet, appropriate chew treats and toys and
brushing dog’s teeth daily.

The following will help guide you through the steps to dogs and cats teeth
cleaning: After brushing dog's teeth a few times this routine should be simple and
quick. To promote healthy teeth and gums try to do your dogs and cats teeth
cleaning every day or at the least, once a week.


1.        Before you begin have your veterinarian check your pet’s teeth. Dogs and
cats teeth cleaning can be very painful if they have gum disease or damaged
teeth and you could get bitten.

2.        Before brushing dog's teeth practice by opening your pet’s mouth gently
so that they get used to it. Make sure you reward him with a treat each time you
do this.

3.        Purchase at a pet store or from your vet a pet dental kit that includes a
special toothpaste and a toothbrush. Make sure you read the directions and
follow the kit's instructions before brushing dog’s teeth.

4.        Make sure that you and your cat or dog is in a comfortable position while
brushing their teeth.

5.        It is always best to use minimal restraint while brushing your pet’s teeth,
especially for cats.  You may want to wrap your cat in a towel to keep him from
trying to escape scratching you.

6.        Always brush your cat's or dog's teeth using a circular motion focusing
longer on the area between the teeth and the gum.

7.        Make sure you reward your pet b giving them a special treat after each
tooth brushing procedure.

If your pet refuses to let you put a tooth brush in their mouth, there are other
alternatives to dogs and cats teeth cleaning such as a finger toothbrush. Call your
veterinary for suggestions.
