How To Brush A Dog’s Teeth
Today’s feature is from PuppyBuzz with directions for How To Brush Your Dog’s Teeth:
Brushing your dog’s teeth should start as soon as possible so that both you and your dog get accustomed to the practice. Your first task is to show puppy he can trust you with putting weird stuff in his mouth. He’s not going to be too sure about what’s going on so take the time to gain his confidence.
Not only do we have to worry about our own teeth and dental care, our little buddies rely on us to keep their teeth in top shape too. I thought flossing my own teeth was awkward and clumsy…dog dental care has that beat hands down! But it’s worth brushing your dog’s teeth, a couple years ago I had to pay a few hundred dollars to have my dog’s teeth cleaned and now I make the effort ;).

staying on top of your pet’s dental health really is very important. poor oral hygiene can have some very negative effects on their overall health. luckily there are a lot of products out there that make it easier…mouthwashes, enzymatic chew treats, special toothbrushes, etc. it sounds kind of ridiculous, but it really is important.

Did you know that poor dental hygeine can cause a dog to have heart proplems? The bacteria released from dental plaque build-up enters the bloodstream and can cause heart murmurs. If caught in time, an antibiotic can usually bring things back to healthy.
So, it is not only much cheaper to keep up with your dog’dental needs, it may save his life!
BTW, February is always pet dental month, when most veterinarians offer a discount on teeth cleanings.
