The health of the dog is made up of many factors. We must not only do medical check-ups, but we must also maintain your proper hygiene to avoid diseases and problems. In the case of your oral hygiene, you have to keep your teeth clean and free of tartar, to avoid having dental problems and long-term infections.
If we accustom them from a young age to maintain a ideal oral hygiene, Over time it will be easy for your teeth to stay healthy and especially to last much longer. It should also be borne in mind that there are dogs that by genetics have much weaker teeth and are prone to tartar, and that they will need more care and even some mouth cleaning at the veterinarian.
Brush teeth of the dog is something difficult, and for that reason it is something that we are not going to do every day. We have the possibility to give you sweets that clean your teeth although they are never as effective as cleaning them. In any case, we must buy specific products to clean the teeth in pets, since they usually swallow all the toothpaste.
Must get used to them very early, first with the fingers. If they are used to us manipulating their mouths, they will not do anything or bother. You have to do it for a short time first and lengthen it, adding the utensils, such as a small toothbrush. So we can do the cleaning without bothering them. If they behave well, remember to give them a reward for this behavior, so that they associate the experience with something good.
If tartar becomes a problem Even if we clean their teeth, we must go to the vet for a deep oral cleaning. It is something that only has to be done in some dogs whose dentures are of poorer quality, but in any case we must monitor their teeth to check that they are always healthy.
