Toothpaste Hi I was just wondering what kind of toothpaste do you guys use for your dog and also what is the best age to start brushing their teeth? |
Petrodex Poultry flavored. and I would say as young as thirteen weeks. |
oh thank you for your response... I was also wondering what kind of toothbrush should I buy with it and what is the price of that toothpaste, also where can I buy this product from? |
You can usually find it at Petsmart or Petco. I know Petsmart carries them in packs which include toothpaste and brush. You can't use human toothbrushes cause even the softest ones are too harsh on their gums. I think the pack together is like 7 or eight bucks. Seperately the toothpaste will be around 4-5 dollars and the brush should be around the same. |
Make sure you only use a pea size amount of toothpaste. It'll be difficult but it's best to get them used to having it done at a young age. Just put a little paste on your finger tip and let them lick it off and then hold the sides of their mouth and slowly begin brushing gently. They also make a brush you can slip right on your finger tip so it's not as traumatic. it's like three dollars I think? |
I was wondering if anybody knew of any minty smelling toothpaste? I've brushed my baby's teeth with two or three different meaty toothpastes and they all give her "fartbreath:eek: "..that's what my youngest daughter calls it!!!:rolleyes: |
I use fourpaws pet dental it is called. I get it at PetCo. I also use a baby's toothbrush. It has a small handle and a small brush. Perfect and they are not expensive. I buy them at Shoprite. Works great. This time I bought "ELMO".:D |
Try getting DentaClean mint toothpaste in Petsmart. I bought it for Diamond and she likes it just as much as the other toothpaste that is chicken flavor. Although I rather have her breath smelling minty! I also got her DentaClean mints :) |
I brush using the Denta Clean Tarter Control toothpaste twice (or so) a week, and then every night before bed I rub a little bit of the Life for Teeth gel on their gums. I started brushing Pixie's teeth as soon as I got her (around 16 weeks). I got Charlie when he was about 7 months and as far as I can tell he's never has his brushed. It's difficult, but we're working with him.... |
I purchased mine from my vet--I'll check on the name. I think it is by C.E.T. Very good! And I use a cat toothbrush--great for small mouths. Sart when very young so that your Yorkie can get used to it before the permanent teeth come in. It's hard...but I keep at it. This company Virbac C.E.T.) also makes enzymatic oral hygiene chews--much better than rawhide as the enzyme really works to prevent plaque and loosen tartar. All products available at the vet or animal hospital based "store". |
I got Toki started as early as 3 months. |
Four Paws toothpaste and tooth brush! Quote:

I also use Denta Clean tartar control mint. My dogs love it and their breath smells minty afterward. I get it at petsmart. |
