I came across a picture from www.dgpforpets.com that explained what you should and shouldn't do for your dogs dental care, and I thought I would share it with you!
DO'S:
- Brush your dogs teeth at least once a week.
- Check your pets mouth and gums for abnormalities once a month. This includes looking for swollen gums, brownish tartar on teeth, bad breath and loose teeth.
- Invest in a chew toy. This will help remove tartar build up.
- Look for foods and treats formulated for dental care and approved by Veterinary Oral Heath Council (VOHV).
DON'TS:
- Use human toothpaste. Fluoride is extremely dangerous for pets.
- Ignoring signs of gum disease. Visit your vet at least once a year.
- Give up - slowly introduce your dog to teeth brushing. It will be new and they may resist but don't give up, they will eventually become used to it!
