Brushing Your
Dog's Teeth
STEP 1: Introduce
a brushing program gradually. Avoid over-restraining him and keep brushing
sessions short and positive. A small dog can be held in your lap. Praise and
reassure your dog throughout the process.
STEP 2: At
first, dip a finger into beef bouillon. Rub the soaked finger gently over your
dog's mouth and teeth. Make the initial sessions short and positive.
STEP 3: Gradually,
introduce gauze over the finger and gently scrub the teeth in a circular
motion.
STEP 4: Finally,
you can introduce a soft toothbrush designed for pets. Use a sensitive or
ultra-soft brush designed for people or a brush designed for pets. Special pet
toothbrushes are available from your veterinarian or specialty pet store. Don't
use toothpaste designed for people because it could upset your dog's stomach.
