Just some tips for tooth brushing:
1. Use an enzymatic tooth paste for pets. The enzymes work to clean the teeth even when you're done brushing.
2. If your dog won't accept a toothbrush in his mouth, apply the enzymatic toothpaste with a Q-tip, or experiment with different size/types brushes.
3. Be patient, and relax. The enzymes in the toothpaste will work even without brushing. If your pup has a lot of plaque on his teeth, you won't get it all off in one sitting. It may take weeks even months to clean up their mouth. But each time will get better, just don't stress to much over it. Your pup will pick up on your anxiety. Make it fun! |
