Brushing your dog’s teeth

Brushing your dog’s teeth is the “gold standard” of dental care because it is the most effective way to remove plaque. Always use a toothbrush and toothpaste designed for pets as some of the ingredients in human toothpaste are toxic to dogs.

Give them a dental chew every day

Dental chews like Veggiedent® FR3SHTM help to control the accumulation of plaque and tartar and to reduce bad breath. 

Add an anti-plaque solution to their water

Aquadent® FR3SHTM solution helps to control plaque accumulation as well as keep gums healthy. It’s an easy solution to add to drinking water for your pets fresh breath.

Talk to your vet about your pet's diet

Your vet may recommend a dental diet based on the needs of your pet. 

Check your dog’s mouth regularly

If your dog will allow, look inside their mouth regularly to check for signs such as red, sore-looking gums or brown staining on the teeth. If you have any concerns, consult your veterinarian.

  • What’s the right way to start brushing my dog’s teeth?

    1. Choose a Calm Time & Location

    Pick a quiet, comfortable time when your pet is relaxed (e.g., after a walk or play session). Sit in a spot with good lighting.

    2. Get Your Pet Comfortable

    Gently lift their lips to expose the teeth. Touch and massage their gums and teeth with your finger for a few days before using a toothbrush.

    3. Introduce the Toothpaste

    Let your pet taste the C.E.T.® toothpaste from your finger first. Then apply a small amount to the toothbrush or finger brush.

    4. Start Brushing Gently

    Lift the lip on one side and gently brush in small, circular motions. Focus on the outer surfaces of the teeth (where plaque tends to build). Start with just a few teeth the first time.

    5. Gradually Increase Time

    Each day, brush more teeth. Aim to brush the back molars where most plaque builds up. Brush for about 30 seconds per side when your pet is fully comfortable.

    6. Praise and Reward

    End each session with praise and a dental treat. This helps your pet associate toothbrushing with positive experiences.

    7. Be Consistent

    Ideally, brush your pet’s teeth daily, but even a few times a week is beneficial.
