How to Brush a Dog's Teeth Properly

Brushing your dog's teeth is an important part of their overall health care routine. Here are some steps to brush your dog's teeth properly: 1. Start by getting your dog comfortable with you touching their mouth and teeth. 2. Introduce them to the taste of dog toothpaste (never use human toothpaste as it can be harmful to dogs) by letting them lick a small amount from your finger. 3. Once they are comfortable with the toothpaste, start by gently rubbing their teeth and gums with your finger to get them used to the sensation. 4. Gradually introduce a dog toothbrush or finger brush with soft bristles. 5. Brush in a circular motion, focusing on the outer surfaces of the teeth. 6. Be gentle and patient, offering praise and treats throughout the process. 7. Aim to brush your dog's teeth at least 2-3 times a week. Remember to reward your dog after each brushing session to create a positive association with the activity.
