How exactly do you brush a dog's teeth, and don't say with toothbrush. i want details!?
go to your vet, thy are qualified to show you and may even do it if your dog is too aggressive.
Reply:seriously - dog biscuits
Reply:You can buy "Doggy Toothpaste", it is toothpaste made for dogs, that is beef/chicken flavored, and use a toothbrush, and brush. Specific details can be found on the toothpaste bottle I think. That is what i do for my dog
Reply:I've heard that there are brushes that fit on your finger and you brush thustly. You can also get tooth paste that will appeal to a dog's taste. The dog will do more licking, but you have to hang in there and brush. If this is an older dog, can you teach it new tricks? The younger the dog (pup) the better..... you can also ask you vet.
Reply:You can buy toothpaste and toothbrushes at the pet store. I have one that fits on my finger, and I use that to brush my dog's teeth. He might just try to lick the toothpaste off, like my dog does, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Do you really brush your dog's teeth?
You really should brush your dog's teeth occasionally, but do NOT use toothpaste made for humans. It can cause serious stomach upset in dogs. Buy doggie toothpaste and toothbrushes at your local pet supply store.

Brushing their teeth not only helps their teeth and gums, but it also prevents kidney disease!
Reply:i don't but i guess i should.
Reply:No. I don't brush my dog's teeth. I feed them Iams and let them chew on rawhide bones or chew toys. Iams has dental care in the food.
Reply:Who said I did?
Reply:It is very important to keep you dog healthy, and brushing your dog's teeth is part of that. Your dog's teeth are just like ours. They can develope gingivitis and all that nasty stuff. Also, your dog can develope very bad breath if you don't brush his/her teeth. So please, for your dog's sake (and yours!), brush it's teeth!
Reply:Brushing you dog's teeth is good not only for their dental condition, but their overall health as well. Your veterinarian can provide a pamphlet with the proper technique. Just make sure they have their own toothbrush!
Reply:Yes it is highly recommended by vets to brush your dogs teeth. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then you can always have a groomer or the vet do it, for a price of course. ;)
Reply:My wife does, she even uses doggie toothpaste and it helps keep down tartar buildup which can lead to potential diseases as well as expensive cleanings.
Reply:My dog actually LOVES having her teeth brushed. I use a child's toothbrush and toothpaste. She lets me brush all of her teeth. Truthfully, I haven't tried flossing.
PS This isn't high priority in my household, so I only do it occasionally.
Reply:I don`t have time to brush my dogs teeth so I get them treats that whiten their teeth. Dogs would much rather chew on a treat than gettin their mouth pulled open to brush their teeth. Lams makes good teeth whitin treats.
Reply:I work for a veterinary hospital and any pet owners out there you try to make it a habit to brush your animals teeth just as you would do your own ,dental care on animals is expensive dentals on animals start at a minimum of $300.00 dollars and up
Reply:I brush my dog's teeth about 4 times a week with doggie tooth paste available at petco
Reply:You can go to petco or petsmart and go to the healthcare section. If your dog has bad breath, like mine, you can buy dental bones,my dog loves them. You can also buy doggy toothbrush and toothpaste. There is a flavoring you can put in their water etc.
Reply:Yes, it promotes the dogs overall health. However, it is not necessary to do it everyday, as with humans. Also, it is imperative to use dog toothpaste, as normal toothpaste is dangerous for dogs to ingest. There are also a wide array of dog bones and treats that are now available to help clear plaque and help with doggie dental health.

Is it normal for a dog's teeth to fall off at a certain age?
it hasnt happened to mine but a friend says it happens
Is it normal for a dog's teeth to fall off at a certain age?
Only when shedding puppy teeth, until about 8 months old..after that, it is just poor dental care..It is not normal for people either, but many humans wear false teeth!
Some breeds, such as the one I raise, will wear down their front bottom teeth as they age..(dogs with an even bite) so that they are barely there, but not falling out..
Reply:no yur friend is wrong
Reply:yes, definately, however, most people don't notice because the dogs usually swallow their teeth. But it is perfectly normal, just like a little kid
unless you mean falling out like an old man... in which case, your friend is an idiot...
Reply:Puppies lose their milk teeth, old dogs lose their teeth.
Reply:Ive had a 12 year old dog loose a tooth before but not all of them, not true.
Reply:yah when it's a puppy it loses baby teeth just like people do.. but sometimes (like my dog) they wont fall out and the new ones have already grown in so you'll have to get it checked by a vet and maybe pulled or something
Reply:They lose there puppy teeth and there permant ones grow in just like human teeth do.
Reply:It is normal for puppies to lose their milk teeth, but toothe loss in older dogs is a sign of dental disease or trauma and should be treated.
Reply:Puppies loose their teeth. Our liked to lick them and carry them around before they finally ate them. Older dogs may loose their teeth if they don't have sufficient dental care.
Reply:Yes, just like humans they loose their teeth and most of the time they swallow it, so we don't see it.
Reply:dont worry, they'll come out when their redy!!!

Reply:Sure is:
Teething schedule for the dog
Deciduous Teeth (puppy teeth)
Incisors 3-4 weeks
Canines 3 weeks
Premolars 4-12 weeks
Molars None
Permanent teeth (adult teeth)
Incisors 3-5 months
Canines 4-6 months
Premolars 4-6 months
Molars 5-7 months
These are the eruption dates: obviously the deciduous teeth have to fall out to make way for the permanent teeth.
If your dog is much older, then it may have a dental problem such as periodontitis, so take it to a vet.
Reply:Hi as a puppy yes...as an adult then no if the proper care %26amp; attension is given to the oral care...Regards Jake
Reply:Puppy teeth begin to shed and be replaced by permanent adult teeth at about four months of age older dogs teeth do fall out but that's because of decay or not takeing care of there teeth.
Reply:As with humans so likewise with dogs they will fall out and be replaced with adult teeth.

Reply:Feed him plenty of Milk Bones...gets rid of the build up on the teeth...bones are also good for this. IF the dog shows serious buildup of plaque, he will have to have his teeth professionally cleaned now and then (expensive)
Reply:It is best to have a qualified vet do it .
A dogs dental health will extend his life .
dogs can get heart disease and blood infections.
they need a thorough tartar removal .
they need to be anesthetized

Reply:There are dental treats and chew for dogs, I give a pedigree dental stick to my pooch every day and she loves them!
Reply:Use special dog toothbrushes and meat-flavour toothpaste. If your local pet shop doesn't stock this, go to your vet - they will probably have some for sale.
Next thing to be aware of is that your dog probably won't like it. Before trying this, get him/her used to you touching his/her muzzle. Start by stroking the muzzle to get the dog used to being touched there. The first time you clean the teeth just do it for a short time. Gradually increase the time as you go.
Be gentle, and good luck!
Reply:there are special toothbrushes and toothpastes in almost all pet shops. they usually have chicken flavour and dogs love it..

How do you brush a dog's teeth??
i used a baby toothbrush till i saw these rubber brushes at the vets, you slide it over your finger and rub your dogs teeth with it, great idea! there not expensive either!
How do you brush a dog's teeth??
You get the toothbrush and toothpaste that's specialized for them.
"lift their lips" and brush their teeth.
Reply:With a doggy toothbrush %26amp; doggy toothpaste much like you would your own. Your vet or groomer could show you though.
Reply:usually the best way is to get breath tablets from your vets or nearest pet supply company!
Reply:Thanks for reminding me!
I need to brush his teeth right now...
Reply:Buy minty bones that cleans their teeth,freshens breath and removes plaque. Your dog has to be really patient if you want to brush it's teeth. Maybe have a good tasting dog toothpaste?
Reply:I like those little rubber things that look like sewing thimbles. They are usually sold in the package with the doggie toothpaste. Do your regular grooming routine, brush and comb him first, clip his nails and just calmly hold his head in your lap and gently brush his teeth. If he is used to being groomed he should stay quite calm. If you have trouble you can get the vet tech or vet to show you how. Good luck.
Reply:this is what you do ..... first you have to comfort your dog and then once youve done that get him or her familiarized with the toothbrush , lift your dogs lips and slowly and smoothly brush.
Reply:Give Him/Her a Bone! look for the Packages that say Teeth Care or Teeth Cleaner (something along those lines and if you can't find them ask an employee.) and that's the best way. And its gives them something to chew on. For bad breath you could give your dog a couple of spear-mints or break up some candy canes and give it to them. I hope this helps.
Reply:Feed them dentastix, they are great!!
Reply:They have dog toothbrushes and toothpaste at some pet stores. We got a little rubber thing that you put on your finger and had rubber bristles on it. Our dog liked the taste of the toothpaste, so once she got over how weird it was that I was sticking my finger into her mouth, she was content to just sit there. We don't brush her teeth anymore though, she chews on enough nylabones to keep her teeth in good condition.
Reply:I usually have my dogs lying on their side on the grooming table. I put the doggie toothpaste (not human) on the doggie toothbursh and brush their teeth. I reward them a treat after it's done.

How do i brush my dog's teeth?
I don%26#039;t have doggie toothpaste...What should i use?
How do i brush my dog%26#039;s teeth?
you don%26#039;.t Use a doggie chew toy that%26#039;s made for brushing dogs%26#039; teeth.
Reply:There are all kinds of tooth brushes for dogs but a regular wash cloth will work just as well. And its going to be difficult at first, but just don%26#039;t give up. Your dog will eventually get used to this, hopefully, like any other grooming routine.
Reply:Do not use human tooth paste. Buy dog%26#039;s tooth paste, or just plain water.
Reply:Dogs don%26#039;t need their teeth brushed as long as they have chew toys. Look for chew toys that aid in removing plaque from dog%26#039;s teeth. Depending on the size of the dog, I%26#039;ve found that for my PitBull a tug rope works the best because when he chews on it it gets in between his teeth and rubs on them too.
Reply:try this, everyday touch your dogs teeth and gums with your finger for a week get your dog used to the feeling of having something rub its teeth and gums then after the week replace your finger with a soft brisle toothbrush and use meat flavored dog toothpastle (never give ur dog human toothpastle its not good for them). you should brush your dogs teeth everyday once a day and start when its a puppy.
Reply:there%26#039;s a doggie toothbrush and doggie toothpaste that is sold in some local grocery stores.also you can find it in petstores.and if you don%26#039;t know how to brush them,then go to your local petstore and ask one of the groomers or sales people there.

How do you keep your dog's teeth free from plaque and tar tar?
My teen dog had to have a cyst removed. The vet was amazed at how clean her teeth were. He said they normally do teeth cleaning while the dogs are under, but that hers were absolutely clean. This summer I had a 7 year old spayed, and he said the same about her..
I have always struggled with dental care on my several dogs, some trying to stay ready for showing..but their teeth are sparkling clean since I switched to Canidae dry food 3 years ago. .they have never been in better over-all good health. My 11 year old actually dances as we walk..She can still outrun my 3 year olds! (sight hounds)
How do you keep your dog%26#039;s teeth free from plaque and tar tar?
There are milk bones, and dog treats that you can get at places like petsmart or petco that can help with this. You can also get a local vet to provide some suggestions, but I use dog treats.
Reply:Dental chews, hard kibble, and brushing their teeth. If the plaque build-up is real bad (some dogs are worse than others for this), an annual (or even semi-annual) teeth scaling by the vet would be a good idea.
But just go to a pet store and look for pet toothpaste and a brush. And Nylabone makes some plastic chew toys that have nubs on them designed to clean dogs%26#039; teeth.
Reply:You can buy a doggy toothbrush, it should come with beef flavored tooth paste. But keep in mind you should NEVER use human toothpaste on a dog, as it is unsafe.
You can also buy dental bones in mind flavor to help with your problem as well.
Reply:They have special tooth brushes for pets my grandmother has one and she brushes her dogs teeth like daily to keep plaque off.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that they need to have bones and things to chew on to keep there gums and teeth clean .
Also you can brush their teeth --- not kidding . There%26#039;s a special finger brush that you stick on your finger and brush away. Not so sure about toothpaste- the fluoride might be bad for them
Reply:There are a few ways. Some people do them all, some people do none, but most people do at least one.
-Feed him/her dry food. This helps to clean their teeth, and also doesn%26#039;t contribute to tartar as much as wet food.
-Rawhide and bones helps to clean teeth as well. The also sell special chews/bones just for the purpose of teeth cleaning.
-Brush often or occasionally. They sell special toothpaste for pets.
-Have them cleaned professionally by a vet or groomer.
Reply:There are treats that help. You can also get a pet tooth brush and toothpaste, and, try to brush his or her teeth.
Reply:I%26#039;ve always given my dogs raw beef bones and that%26#039;s kept their teeth good and clean.
Reply:Brush every other day in you can, for larger dogs you can use a child%26#039;s toothbrush, in some dogs there lips gum create soirt of pocket on the outside of their teeth and the back of the mouth where food getting trapped so removing the pocket of food with the tooth brush helps
Most dogs swallow kibble whole so dry kibble will not help to maintain teeth
Genetics also plays a role, some dogs have have dense teeth with a thick smooth layer to cover the teeth, and others will have very porous teeth that under a microscope looks like a sponge food and bacteria with cause the tooth pore tofill up with tarter and that create a rough surface that allows tarter to bind very easily on the tooth surface so even with regular brushing you may still have to take the dog for yearly cleaning,
In certain breeds like greyhounds and shihtzu they have a high likelihood of having genetically bad teeth.
I had one greyhound who was 9 never had a dental and very little brushing and yet she had no tartar when she passed away, my other I was brushing constantly and still had to send him for cleanings every 9 months and even did gum grafts since he was having so much gum recession, and had sealant applies to try and reduce the frequency of vet visit s for cleaning with no luck, and he was eating Canidae at the time too
Reply:You get food and biscuits meant to keep tartar build-up to a minimum.
If need be have them cleaned by a vet
Invest in a doggy tooth brush from your petshop, and along with toothpaste for pets, it%26#039;s dental care made easy.
Remembr it only builds up on the outside, for some reason, not the inside.
Reply:good food and good oral care of care!
try to buy food that is tar tar and plague free for your dog. also there is a solution that you can add to your dog drinking water that can promote good oral care, available in pet stores.
and most importantly, try to brush the doggie teeth like minium 2 times per week and clean their mouth using wet wipes after each meals. also, regular dental check up for your mate. you dont want them sick, do you? =)
Reply:Simple answer.....raw bones. Nothing can replace using raw bones in a dogs diet. Check with the butcher at your local grocery store and ask for some raw beef bones.
Reply:Give him good milk bones to chew and that will help.....keep his teeth clean. Also, I use a regular tooth brush on her and regular paste...She loves it....I do this once a week. Making sure I also brush her tongue.
Reply:First, if your dog already has plaque and tarter than you need to have the teeth profesionally cleaned at the vet%26#039;s office. they do make milk bones and other sorts of treats, but the best way is to have them cleaned and then to, believe it or not, brush them like you brush yours. they make special brushes and toothpaste that tastes like liver and all that so dogs like it. the treats do good, just not as good as the brushing.

Reply:You can buy toothpaste at the pet store for your dog, and they have different flavors like peanut butter.
Reply:Brushing your dogs teeth regularly (with dog toothpaste, not humans), dental chews, dry dog food, ect....These are all excellent ways to keep your dogs teeth nice and healthy. You should also have them checked out by your vet every so often to make sure he has no underlying gum ot teeth problems.

I have always struggled with dental care on my several dogs, some trying to stay ready for showing..but their teeth are sparkling clean since I switched to Canidae dry food 3 years ago. .they have never been in better over-all good health. My 11 year old actually dances as we walk..She can still outrun my 3 year olds! (sight hounds)
How do you keep your dog%26#039;s teeth free from plaque and tar tar?
There are milk bones, and dog treats that you can get at places like petsmart or petco that can help with this. You can also get a local vet to provide some suggestions, but I use dog treats.
Reply:Dental chews, hard kibble, and brushing their teeth. If the plaque build-up is real bad (some dogs are worse than others for this), an annual (or even semi-annual) teeth scaling by the vet would be a good idea.
But just go to a pet store and look for pet toothpaste and a brush. And Nylabone makes some plastic chew toys that have nubs on them designed to clean dogs%26#039; teeth.
Reply:You can buy a doggy toothbrush, it should come with beef flavored tooth paste. But keep in mind you should NEVER use human toothpaste on a dog, as it is unsafe.
You can also buy dental bones in mind flavor to help with your problem as well.
Reply:They have special tooth brushes for pets my grandmother has one and she brushes her dogs teeth like daily to keep plaque off.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that they need to have bones and things to chew on to keep there gums and teeth clean .
Also you can brush their teeth --- not kidding . There%26#039;s a special finger brush that you stick on your finger and brush away. Not so sure about toothpaste- the fluoride might be bad for them
Reply:There are a few ways. Some people do them all, some people do none, but most people do at least one.
-Feed him/her dry food. This helps to clean their teeth, and also doesn%26#039;t contribute to tartar as much as wet food.
-Rawhide and bones helps to clean teeth as well. The also sell special chews/bones just for the purpose of teeth cleaning.
-Brush often or occasionally. They sell special toothpaste for pets.
-Have them cleaned professionally by a vet or groomer.
Reply:There are treats that help. You can also get a pet tooth brush and toothpaste, and, try to brush his or her teeth.
Reply:I%26#039;ve always given my dogs raw beef bones and that%26#039;s kept their teeth good and clean.
Reply:Brush every other day in you can, for larger dogs you can use a child%26#039;s toothbrush, in some dogs there lips gum create soirt of pocket on the outside of their teeth and the back of the mouth where food getting trapped so removing the pocket of food with the tooth brush helps
Most dogs swallow kibble whole so dry kibble will not help to maintain teeth
