How and with what to clean a dog’s teeth at home: tips, recommendations.

How to keep your pet’s teeth healthy.

Despite the significant difference between human and dog diets (not in favor of humans), animals also require regular teeth cleaning.

Good news for owners: it doesn’t need to be done twice a day.

Veterinarians recommend daily brushing as the optimal dental hygiene schedule for dogs. If the animal is resistant, it should be done at least twice a week.

Important! Teeth cleaning is a necessary procedure. If the animal resists, let it first get used to the toothbrush and toothpaste, and then gradually introduce it to the process.

While your pet is getting accustomed to the new procedure, you can use alternative oral hygiene products. These include special gels, chewable tablets, bones, sticks, gels, and other devices.

Some of them can also serve as treats and toys that your dog will surely enjoy.

Follow the recommended frequency of use for each product. The manufacturer should provide relevant information on the product packaging.

You can take your pet for professional teeth cleaning at the veterinarian’s. This method may be more expensive in monetary terms but does not require excessive patience from you.
