Start Early: Begin dental care when your dog is young to get them accustomed to the process. However, it’s never too late to start, so don’t hesitate to begin with an older dog.

​Brushing:Regular brushing is the cornerstone of good dental hygiene for dogs. Use a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste (never use human toothpaste, as it can be harmful to dogs). Start slowly, gradually increasing the duration and frequency of brushing sessions.

​Introduce Dental Chews and Toys: Offer dental chews and toys designed to promote oral health. These items can help remove plaque and tartar buildup while providing mental stimulation for your dog.

​Dental Diets: Consider feeding your dog a dental-specific diet formulated to reduce plaque and tartar accumulation. These diets often contain special ingredients or kibble shapes designed to support dental health.

​Regular Vet Check-ups: Schedule routine dental exams with your veterinarian. They can assess your dog’s dental health, perform professional cleanings as needed, and provide guidance on at-home dental care.

Monitor Oral Health: Keep an eye out for signs of dental problems, such as bad breath, swollen gums, discolored teeth, or reluctance to eat. If you notice any abnormalities, consult your vet promptly.

​Provide Fresh Water: Ensure your dog has access to clean, fresh water at all times. Adequate hydration supports saliva production, which helps rinse away food particles and bacteria in the mouth.

​Avoid Hard Objects: Discourage chewing on hard objects like rocks, sticks, or bones that could damage your dog’s teeth. Opt for safe chew toys instead.

​Be Consistent: Consistency is key to maintaining good dental health for your dog. Establish a regular dental care routine and stick to it, making it a part of your daily or weekly regimen.
