Reply:You need to go to a pet store.


You need dog tooth paste.
Reply:Certainly, you can brush your dogs teeth with a regular tooth brush. Good luck on trying to get him/her to stay still. I recommend buying him some doggy dental biscuits, or a spray doggy dental rinse to help with tarter. They sale all kinds at your local pet stores. I get mine at Petsmart for under $10.
Reply:Most pet stores have an entire section devoted to doggie oral hygiene. So if you can try and get a dog type brush, although regular tooth brushes work as well. As for holding still does your dog know the sit and stay command? Try using that first if they do. If not don%26#039;t let them go if they are fussing, this will only teach them to fuss more to get out of it. If they are thrashing about just stop say a firm %26quot;no%26quot; and wait until they are still until you start again. Best to do this in a small room at first until they are used to the method, the bathroom is best I have found, so they know they aren%26#039;t going anywhere. Then just brush little by little until finished. You can also try counting. If you count to ten or fifteen while you are doing it the dog will see the passage of time and understand when it will be done. And some doggie dental treats after never hurt either!
Reply:Make sure you%26#039;re using a soft toothbrush and brushing very gently. A child%26#039;s toothbrush works well because of size. Some dogs really protest the toothbrush and you might want to try getting a finger toothbrush (it fits on your finger).





Try having your dog lying on his side, brush gently and when you%26#039;re all done, give him a little treat as a reward. If you persist, he%26#039;ll soon get used to it.
