| tooth brushing I need to start brushing my pup's teeth and i bought a kit from the store. I just need to know if the dog is supposed to swallow the toothpaste. I know it sounds like a dumb question, but i dont want to hurt my baby. I dont have to rinse her mouth out right? |

| I would read the instructions/label just to be sure, but doggy toothpaste is usually meant to be swallowed. If your furbutt won't tolerate the toothbrush, try a piece of gauze wrapped around your finger instead. I know this is the only way I can brush my girls' teeth!!

| Dog toothpaste is meant to be swallowed. That is why there is no fluoride in it and it also doesn't foam. If the package doesn't say it can't be swallowed, then it can be. It would be too hard to rinse out their mouths.
