Part of caring for a Bulldog with gingivitis includes routine and consistent home dental care. If your dog has bad breath or is showing signs of trouble chewing his food, then contact your vet and schedule a checkup. Your Bulldog may have gingivitis or some other form of gum disease. Lack of daily brushing and diet choices can lead to gingivitis in dogs like the Bulldog. Your vet can tell you that one of the best ways to prevent or even care for a Bulldog with gingivitis is to brush your dog’s teeth at home routinely. You can use a dog toothbrush or a simple piece of gauze to wipe leftover food, tartar and plaque from the surface of your dog’s teeth. A vet recommended toothpaste may also be helpful. In addition, feed your dog crunchy foods and treats to help naturally breakdown tartar. For further information on cleaning your dog’s teeth at home, call your Fort Collins, CO vet.
