The best way to remove plaque is to simply brush your dog’s teeth daily with a dog toothbrush and dog-safe toothpaste. Brushing your pooch’s teeth every now and then won’t get rid of a buildup of plaque, but regular brushing will help keep their teeth and mouths healthy. If your dog already has a buildup of tartar – a brown, tough layer close to the gum line – it’s best to seek advice from your vet. Brushing alone is unlikely to be enough to clean the teeth. Your vet will be able to discuss the best way to care for your dog’s teeth and let you know if they need any further treatment.
Some chewing toys are designed to keep gums and teeth healthy by helping to remove plaque from teeth. Dental Dog Toys are pet-safe toys that help to reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar. Dental treats can also be a great way to look after your pet’s teeth.
While dental treats and chew toys can help, it’s always best to brush your dog’s teeth as well.
