Hi, I have 5years old chocolate lab. I never brushed his teeth till now. Do I need to brush his teeth twice a day (since he is adult dog!). I saw mild brown scale formed on his last teeth. Please advise me. Nice Vid!!!
Hi, I recently bought a chihuahua, his only 10 weeks old. I tried to brush his teeth with gauze, however, all he does it biting it so it makes it impossible to brush his teeth. I sucessfully brushed one of his teeth while I was holding him with a stong grip, but he didnt like it very much. Question for you: Should I buy a toothpaste and a toothbrush and try again? And whats the best method to do it? Havent brushed his teeth in one week so his breath is starting to smell a little bad :)
Hi Vet Vid, quick question about brushing - I noticed when you started brushing lolas teeth she started licking so her jaw was moving. I find when I brush my dogs teeth because he licks so much I cant really get the toothbrush on his lower teeth, it just slips off into his mouth. I use the same brush and product you have in your video as well.
@Iglamourmakeup I have used very soft bristled toddler toothbrushes on my small (10 lb) dogs' teeth. When you're at the store looking at tooth brushes, the bristle stiffness should be printed on the upper corner of the package (hard, medium, soft, etc.).
I have one question, I'm starting to brush my dogs teeth to get her used to it and she's only 4 months, so how many times do I brush her teeth daily??
This video is very helpful! I have question though. My dog had really bad breath and almost all his teeth went missing from not getting his teeth cleaned for the longest time. My parents can't afford a vet for him. Is possible that if we buy toothpaste and a toothbrush and we brush his teeth, he will be a lot better? Or do we have to worry about the infections that was just mentioned in the video?
Hey guys this was fantastic. I just started working for City Vet here in Dallas Tx and work across the street at their boarding and grooming facility as as ACA ( Animal care attendant ) We don't brush the teeth over here only at the vet, but this is really helpful so IF I am requested to do so then I can. Thanks :)..
thank you for the video it was most helpful we just had to put our long time pal down the other day , it is very important to have his or her teeth checked when seeing the vet, they were very bad and had to have some pulled , ,also kidney problems and finally she was not eating , so did not want to see her starving to death , so he is at rest ,,,,
My dog doesn't like to get his teeth brushed, I tried different flavours and he doesn't seem to enjoy getting his teeth brushed. When i try not to force him he goes in a corner and sits there for a while to make sure i wont brush his teeth. What do i do?
My doctor told me to not use toothpaste. Is this okay? I brush my dogs teeth almost everyday (I miss some days) because her teeth are starting to get tartar build up. Due to her sensitive stomach I cannot switch her food so a dental diet is out of the question but where can I find water additives? At a pet store?
She uses a daily dental chew stick (NOT denta stix).
What is your opinion on the Denta Stix?They seem to be very good at making dogs sick!
In the wild dogs kill their prey and gnaw on the carcass. They have more of a dental workout then now that they are with us. Plus their life expectancy wasn't as long as when domesticated, so the problems with gingivitis didn't occur s much, if at all. If you want to have a healthy long lived pet, with less vet bills, brushing is an easy thing to do. Just find the taste of toothpaste your dog likes and you will be set.
hi, my dog wont let me open her mouth to brush her teeth; she keeps trying to chew on the toothbrush. what can i do that will allow me to brush her teeth>
Hmmm people really need to stop treating animals like people. And I repeat zachdelarocha8's comment: how did dogs brush their teeth in the wild? Next they'll be offering in vitro fertilization for dog couples trying to conceive....
if i only brushed her teeth like once a week and gave her dental sticks would that do enough to protect her from tartar or should i really brush every day?
@Koldness99 yeah, i dont think that's right... i have a "puppies for dummies" book and it says that it's rarely possible to brush daily so it can be done twice a week or once a week
You forgot a couple things on the list of things that you can do other than brushing. You can use dental pads, or dental spray. Also I know you said and showed in the video that you can do it fast but when you do it fast it doesn't do as good of a job as it would if you took your time. The enzymes in the toothpaste do most of the work but you have to do some work too.
@VetVid My dogs love meat but I bought one that is mint and he barks and bites me and hates him to brush his teeth any advice? Also how much did the toothbrush and toothpaste cost? Thanks
You shouldn't brush teeth horizontally, it's damaging. Incline the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.
I have a 5 month old cavalier king charles and i want to know how many times a day should i brush his teeth. i also want to know if you recommend a certain type of toothpaste
@planetuploads No. You need to use dog toothpaste. For one thing, human toothpastes contain foaming agents that aren't meant to be swallowed, and since dogs are poor at spitting, people pastes can make them sick. What's more, dogs don't care for our mint-flavored toothpastes and the experience will be easier with the flavors they enjoy.
my puppy is changing her teeth. is it okay to brush her teeth or should I wait until all of her adult teeth will grow?? 2 incisors fell and they're starting to grow..
so, should I wait till all of her teeth grow fully or is it ok to start brushing her teeth??
my dog had periodontal disease, his breathe was terrible but today he went to the vet and he got 8 of his teeth extracted. Now he no longer has it, we just have to make sure we brush his teeth on daily basis. before he had it i was brushing his teeth but for some reason it just wasn't working.
my pom loves his toothpaste. he loves the beef flavor. it sounds cruel but the trick for me is once i let the brush in his mouth, i gently close his mouth and brush the side otherwise he will keep on licking and chewing and make it harder for you.

What if my dog's teeth are falling apart and look like they are infected. Can I use baking soda to help with the infection to help the cleaning proses. Plus her breath stinks really bad. Is there anything i can do at home instead of spending $100's on the vet bill. I have 13 year old dog that's why I ask. please help if u can, thnks.
i tried to brush my dog's teeth and a few days later it through up. i dont think that my dog swallowed any but yeah... is there anyway to clean my dog's mouth without it throwing up? my sheltie has never ever brushed his teeth except that one time ... PLEASE HELP!
We brought my dog to the vet and they said she has tardar on her teeth she already lost some of her teeth so we are now brushing them she's a little over three years she's about twelve pounds will those teeth ever grow back??
I have a dog named Cindy i got her from someone my mom knows she has horrible teeth there is tartar build up like crazy and they are in very bad condition if i were to brush her teeth everyday would they become whiter and we are planing to take her to the vet but my mom said that dental clean ups are probably a lot of money we live in Canada do you have any idea what the cost is down here ? Thanks :)
i jus notice day one of dogs tooth is loose... his gum is red...and i have notice his breath change.. his a small chiguagua how ever u spell it... is his tooth going to be removed? am really scaried... his 3 years old...
my chihuahua got 2 of her teeth removed so i realized the prob with not brushing my dog's teeth daily. Before the vet's checkup i didnt know how to brush my dog's teeth and when i tried to brush the gums are swollen and bleeding. since my dog is a small dog, how can i clean the back teeth without scaring him?
@funcathall Start brushing at a young age is good. At 4-6 months old, adult teeth will be coming in. Have your veterinarian check that all deciduous (puppy teeth) have come out at time of neuter/spay. It is common in Chihuahuas to have retained teeth that cause tartar build up at an early age.
@carloscuba89 Genetics play a big role. Also, some people fail to look at the upper back molars and think the teeth are perfect. As veterinarians looking at teeth everyday, we see the disease and the secondary problems.
I know this is about dogs but my cat won't even let me try without biting me. He has already lost 2 teeth. When I try to force his mouth open I'm afraid I'm hurting his lips.
But sharing your tube of toothpaste with your dog isn't such a good idea. For one thing, human toothpastes contain foaming agents that aren't meant to be swallowed, and since dogs are poor at spitting, people pastes can make them sick. What's more, dogs don't care for our mint-flavored toothpastes and the experience will be easier with the flavors they enjoy.
Sometimes a favorite toy or tennis ball can be placed in the mouth to hold it open. Also, there are finger brushes that may be easier to use vs putting a toothbrush in their mouth. As always, be careful not to get bit:)
Toothpaste isn't necessary is it? I brush my dogs' teeth 4 - 5 times a week but I never use toothpaste. Is it mainly just so the dog enjoys it more, or is there other benefits?
it so the toothpaste can kill more bacteria and helps the dog enjoy it more so the owner can be in the habit of it. Plus you prevent so many bad diseases like from the video too so if i were u i wouldnt use just water and a toothbrush
@misterniko171 The enzymatic tooth paste actually kills bacteria and helps polish teeth. Dogs like the flavored paste and it may make the experience enjoyable.
Thanks for this so helpful. I haven't brushed my dogs teeth in a year. but he only has a little bit of tartar so I'm trying to make up for that lost time.
Heck, that's a lot easier than I thought!

Before the vet's checkup i didnt know how to brush my dog's teeth and when i tried to brush the gums are swollen and bleeding. since my dog is a small dog, how can i clean the back teeth without scaring him?

@funcathall Start brushing at a young age is good. At 4-6 months old, adult teeth will be coming in. Have your veterinarian check that all deciduous (puppy teeth) have come out at time of neuter/spay. It is common in Chihuahuas to have retained teeth that cause tartar build up at an early age.

Well i have never brush any of my dogs teeth and they have perfect teeth and never had any health problems.
Also i have never heard of brushing a dogs teeth...

@carloscuba89 Genetics play a big role. Also, some people fail to look at the upper back molars and think the teeth are perfect. As veterinarians looking at teeth everyday, we see the disease and the secondary problems.

Well i have never brush my dogs teeth, but i also never known that you needed to brush their teeth?
My dogs never had any health problems and their teeth have always been white and perfect.

I know this is about dogs but my cat won't even let me try without biting me. He has already lost 2 teeth. When I try to force his mouth open I'm afraid I'm hurting his lips.

@FunnyMoviee A ball or chew toy like a "Kong toy" are good at holding the mouth open... makes it easier to clean the lower back molars.

Why cannot one use human toothpaste?
vonbrach 1 year ago
But sharing your tube of toothpaste with your dog isn't such a good idea. For one thing, human toothpastes contain foaming agents that aren't meant to be swallowed, and since dogs are poor at spitting, people pastes can make them sick. What's more, dogs don't care for our mint-flavored toothpastes and the experience will be easier with the flavors they enjoy.

@VetVid But will their breath still smell fresh with the dog toothpaste?
vonbrach 1 year ago
@vonbrach Keeping your dog's mouth healthy will help in keeping their breath less offensive. But it's still "dog-breath". : )

My dog just tries to eat the toothbrush. It's very difficult to keep her mouth still. Any suggestions?
andrewroz 2 years ago
Sometimes a favorite toy or tennis ball can be placed in the mouth to hold it open. Also, there are finger brushes that may be easier to use vs putting a toothbrush in their mouth. As always, be careful not to get bit:)

Toothpaste isn't necessary is it? I brush my dogs' teeth 4 - 5 times a week but I never use toothpaste. Is it mainly just so the dog enjoys it more, or is there other benefits?
misterniko171 2 years ago
it so the toothpaste can kill more bacteria and helps the dog enjoy it more so the owner can be in the habit of it. Plus you prevent so many bad diseases like from the video too so if i were u i wouldnt use just water and a toothbrush

@misterniko171 The enzymatic tooth paste actually kills bacteria and helps polish teeth. Dogs like the flavored paste and it may make the experience enjoyable.

Thanks for this so helpful. I haven't brushed my dogs teeth in a year. but he only has a little bit of tartar so I'm trying to make up for that lost time.

can your dog swallow the doggy toothpaste?
ashkie82767 2 years ago
like people, the amount for brushing is not a problem. dogs like the taste and will swallow it.
