​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile. We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted.​

Dirty teeth!

Although a diet of a good quality dry kibble, bones and dental treats is a great way to keep our dog’s teeth clean, sometimes it isn’t enough. That’s when it’s time to brush your dog’s teeth. Although dog’s are not as prone to cavities as us humans are they can still develop tartar and plaque build-up and also gingivitis. Signs of dental health issues can be bad breath or yellow teeth and these signs should not be ignored. As with humans, untreated dental issues can lead to life threatening infections and cause issues with the heart, liver and kidney disease.

If you are going to be cleaning your dog’s teeth you will need doggy toothpaste, which can be purchased from your local vet or some pet shops and a doggy toothbrush, ideally a double headed brush will work perfect as it will clean the teeth and inside of the mouth at the same time. Work the brush at a 45 degree angle to make sure you’re cleaning along the gum line also.

For some dog’s this can be a little uncomfortable and they can a little uneasy with the whole experience but there a number of different things you can do to make this a pleasant experience for you both. Firstly, don’t overdo it for the first few times, if your dog is happy to sit for a few minutes and no longer, don’t push your luck. Slowly build up their confidence. Try to schedule your tooth clean for a time after you’re pooch has had a lot of mental and physical exercise so they are more inclined to sit still and won’t have any excess built up energy. After you have finished be sure to reward you’re dog, with something that will also help to clean their teeth (ie; chicken neck, denta stick, marrow bones etc)

Thank you so much for sharing this really helpful post! It's not every day we come across such detailed information about the importance of dental care for our pets. I really appreciate how you explained the causes of dirty teeth and provided practical tips to keep our pets' smiles healthy. This is definitely something every pet owner should know. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks again for helping us give our furry friends the best care possible!
