To start cleaning your dog’s teeth properly, you’ll need the right tools. Forget about using human toothpaste as the ingredients can be toxic to dogs – opt for a pet-safe one instead. There are plenty of dog-friendly toothbrushes available, too. Some are finger brushes that slip over your finger, while others are long-handled with a silicone end or standard bristles. Choose what works best for you and your dog, keeping in mind that some dogs may prefer one type over another. In addition to regular brushing, you can help keep your dog’s teeth healthy by providing dental chews or toys designed to help reduce plaque. Look for products that are vet-approved and safe for your dog’s size and breed and be sure to ask us about other oral care products like water additives and wipes.

Brush your dog's teeth regularly. Dental chews and treats are also a good way of helping to keep your dog's teeth clean. Buy a dog toothpaste - human ones aren't suitable. You can use a special dog toothbrush that goes over your finger to brush their teeth, but if you don't have one then a child-sized toothbrush is fine. Ask your vet first - before you start cleaning your dog's teeth, it's always best to ask your vet to show you the best way to do this. However, dry dog food may have the added benefit of exercising their chewing muscles and provide a mild cleaning effect on the teeth.
