Brush your dog’s teeth with canine toothpaste. Some dogs truly enjoy having their teeth brushed because canine toothpaste is usually flavored to suit a dog’s taste buds. Chicken, beef, and peanut butter are the most popular flavors. Try to brush your dog’s teeth 2-3 days a week, but if you have the time and your dog enjoys it, brushing their teeth daily would be even better. Add dental powder to your dog’s meals, such as VetriScience® Perio Support, a flavored dental powder that is easy to apply to the top of your dog’s food. Try a dental water additive, which helps freshen your dog’s breath and kills plaque-building bacteria in your dog’s mouth. Ask your vet about prescription dental food, such as Purina® ProPlan® Veterinary Diets DH Dental Health, which have been clinically proven to help reduce dental disease. Give your dog dental treats, such as OraVet® chewable treat, that have the Veterinary Oral Health Council’s Seal of Acceptance on the packaging. Take your dog for regular dental cleanings, as tartar will still build up over time on your dog’s teeth.
