How to Brush Your Dog's Teeth Properly

Brushing your dog's teeth is an important part of their overall health care routine. Here are some steps to help you brush your dog's teeth properly: 1. Start by getting your dog used to having their mouth touched. Gently lift their lips and touch their teeth and gums. 2. Introduce your dog to the toothbrush and toothpaste. Use a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste (never use human toothpaste). Let your dog taste the toothpaste to get them used to the flavor. 3. Begin brushing in a gentle circular motion, focusing on the outer surfaces of the teeth. Be patient and go slowly, especially if it's your dog's first time. 4. Gradually increase the time you spend brushing until you can brush all the teeth. 5. Reward your dog with praise or a small treat after each brushing session. Aim to brush your dog's teeth 2-3 times a week for optimal dental health. If your dog is resistant, consult your vet for alternative dental care options.
