Help with brushing my dog's teeth.?

Hello,


I have a new addition to our family. She is a 7 year old Husky mix. The vet told me she needs to have her teeth brushed. She had tarter buildup on her teeth. The vet cleaned them for me. But when I tried today, she would not let me. How can I train her? My last dog was already used to having his teeth brushed before I adopted him.

Help with brushing my dog%26#039;s teeth.?
Well if the vet has already cleaned them that means all the tartar is already gone now all you need to do now is to PREVENT tartar and plaucque build up. It wouldn%26#039;t be the best thing to brush your dogs teeth yourself because i bet you don%26#039;t know how to do it professionally like the vets do it quick, simple and easy(that%26#039;s not an offensive fact).





You should buy your dog DentaBones or DentaStix. They require all the extra vitamins and minerals for your dogs teeth to grow healthy and strong and the Bones and Stix also protect your dog teeth from plaque and tartar build up PLUS smelly breath. They cost around $ 3-7 for a 4 bone packet depending the size of the Bone or Stix.





Also Kong Toys are the way to go. You may know about them but if you don%26#039;t they are like a toy but a toothbrush at the same time. They usually come with an attached doggy toothpaste which you insert inside the toy and when they chew on the toy it cleans their teeth while they have fun chewing and trying to root out the paste at the same time, It keeps them mentally stimulated that way also. The Kong Dental Toy is a specially designed rubber Doggy Toothbrush ( as i told you) so because its special rubber for dogs it massages the gums and feels great. The paste comes in all different Flavours like Peanut Butter, Spearmint, Peppermint, Meaty Treat and much more. All the flavours are all guaranteed to smell great inside your dogs mouth. Hope this helps you!





P.S I don%26#039;t know how much the Kong toys cost.
Reply:start off first with just playing with her muzzle. do this for a few days then move onto lifting up her lip and massaging her gums. once she comes to like this you can introduce the toothbrush and just for a short amount of time rub it along her gums. once she%26#039;s used to that add toothpaste, make sure it%26#039;s dog approved toothpaste the human toothpaste is bad for dogs. once she%26#039;s used to having her mouth handeled she will relax and it will be easier. but you%26#039;re going to have to take your time introducing her to it, if you%26#039;ve never done it and just try to pin her down and brush her teeth she%26#039;s going to associate it as a bad thing.
Reply:strange.. they didn%26#039;t suggest those doggy treats that clean a dogs teeth %26quot;especially tarter%26quot;? ..or is this some thing where she can%26#039;t eat right as it is?
Reply:there are soft dog brushs that go over your finger like a thimble. Easier to use. Then get a dog toothpaste.. something they like the taste of. Train in a small confined area, like your bathroom. Make it a habit.. like doing his right after your own.
