Your dog needs you to care for him in many ways. This includes the portions of his body that many overlook, like oral hygiene. To care for your dog’s teeth, make a point to brush them regularly. If you haven’t been doing this, it may take some time for your pet to get used to the process, particularly is he isn’t familiar with people touching his mouth. Take a gradual approach, and let him become familiar with the process before diving straight into longer brushings. Give him a chance to lick some toothpaste off his toothbrush as well as get used to the feeling of the brush against his teeth. In addition to brushing, consider getting your pet items to chew on that will promote proper dental health. There are also treats on the market to help with oral hygiene.
