Brushing my dog%26#039;s teeth?
yea def use the dooggy tooth paste...it comes with chicken or beef flavor so its like a treat for the dogs and they wont as against the idea of having their teeth clean.





And please spend 3 dollars to buy that dog toothbush. it has 2 ends one is bigger and one side is smaller. its easier to get in the deep inside of the teeth. IF your dogs really doesnt like the teethbrush inside the mouth. They also have the finger brush which you can put it on your finger and you can rub their gum line with the toothpaste.





The whole set is like 10 bucks - def worth the investment!
Reply:You need a special brush and paste. Visit your vet or look at a website that can give you more information about your pet%26#039;s teeth.
Reply:when i brush my dog%26#039;s teeth i would use doggy tooth paste just to make it safer
Reply:No it%26#039;s not good for them to ingest. Human toothpaste isn%26#039;t meant to be swallowed in large quantities and you can%26#039;t teach your dog to spit.





They%26#039;ll like the meat-flavored toothpaste for dogs and it will be easier for you to brush their teeth when they%26#039;re happy.
Reply:Noooo! Don%26#039;t use human toothpaste! You can get doggie toothpaste and a toothbrush in a pack at PetSmart and it doesn%26#039;t cost very much!!!





They come in flavors the dog will love too, like chicken and peanut butter...lol!
Reply:Use ONLY dog toothpaste. Dogs can%26#039;t spit and therefore will swallow human toothpaste, which isn%26#039;t good. Dog toothpaste is special and it doesn%26#039;t matter if they swallow it.
Reply:They make dog toothpaste because human toothpaste is not meant to be swallowed ans dogs dont spit they swallow anything that goes in the mouth. Human toothpaste can poison a dog in large quantities just like humans
Reply:Never use human toothpaste to clean your dog%26#039;s teeth; it can upset his stomach.
Reply:well i brush my dogs teeth and after asking my vet about it i know that its not safe to use human tooth paste on dogs because they could have a allergic reaction to it. you should go to your local pet store to find tooth paste there. and by the way my vet also told me that you should brush your dogs teeth once-twice a month
Reply:Hi,





No, don%26#039;t use human toothpaste. I have a website about Standard Poodles and it has a page all about taking care of your dog%26#039;s teeth. Check it out, it might help.

Reply:LOL! I use human Crest brand on my dog with a regular soft tooth brush. make sure you get al over the teeth.








p.s. - keep the toothpaste away from your dog - my dog likes to eat it! lol

  1. When you are brushing your dog teeth thing you should keep in mind is that talk to your dog in a happy voice during the process and praise your dog at the end.
