Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Dental health is as essential to humans as your pets. Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious life-threatening diseases such as kidney, liver, and heart muscle damage. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, around 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal conditions at the age of as early as three.

Practicing on-time dental care at home is an excellent way to keep your furry friends healthy and happy.

Follow these six practices for your dog’s oral health

Brush the teeth with Canine toothpaste and a toothbrush

 

Although brushing your dog’s teeth daily is ideal, doing it a week will work. Buy a toothbrush specially designed for dogs. These brushes come with angled handles, soft bristles, and multiple heads. It allows you to easily reach every crevice and a tough spot in the mouth. 

Human toothpaste contains xylitol and fluoride. These ingredients are considered toxic for dogs and other pets. You should buy Canine toothpaste. They come in dog-friendly flavors like chicken, beef, and peanut butter.

Give them dental chews to nibble

5 Easy Ways to take care of your Dog's Oral Health

Dog dental chews help in cleaning the dog’s teeth. It is also helpful among highly excited dog who often bites your furniture. They will be busy chomping these chews and leave your shoes and sofa alone. 

They help minimize plaque and tartar buildup and polish the dog’s teeth to a pearly white.

Add dental powder to your dog’s meal

 

Dental powders can easily be applied to the food before giving them to your dog. They are flavorful, so your dog will love to eat them. These powders contain probiotics to promote healthy bacteria in your dog’s mouth. This helps kill plaque-killing bacteria and keeps your dog from cavity and periodontal diseases.

Try water additives

 

Dental water additives are tasteless but very potent in killing plaque-causing bacteria. They also keep your dog’s breath fresh. You must add the required amount of oral solution to the water.

Use dog dental spray

 

If you need a quick fix to your dog’s bad breath, then a dental spray is your solution. It’s fast and easy and works instantly. You can use it any time of the day or between brushings. 

These sprays have pet-safe ingredients that kill plaque-causing bacteria. They help in preventing and removing tartar and plaque buildup in dogs. Using them is simple. Like any other, you can spray the liquid on your dog’s teeth and gum.

If your dog is restless and doesn’t stay in one place, spray it on the chew toy. That way, your dog can still get the benefit and gets to play as well.

Use Hibiscrub solution

 

Hibiscrub solution is used for cleaning a dog’s mouth and skin. It is a great cleanser and antiseptic for treating scratches, cuts, and scrapes inside dogs’ inner cheeks and gums. 

It helps prevent any possible infection and promotes healing. Unlike most antiseptics, Hibiscrub is not cytotoxic for dogs. You can apply them undiluted as it is mild. 

To clean your dog’s mouth, apply a small quantity of Hibiscrub solution to your dog’s inner cheeks. Keep your dog’s head downward so the solution doesn’t get inside the mouth. Leave the solution for 1-2 minutes and wash the mouth with water.
