How do I brush a dog’s teeth?
Brushing a dog's teeth can follow these steps. First, prepare a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste; do not use human toothpaste, because some of its ingredients can poison the dog. Second, let the dog smell or lick the toothpaste to help it get used to the taste. Then gently massage the dog's gums and teeth with a finger; once it is used to that, use soft gauze or a fingertip with a little toothpaste to keep cleaning. Finally, once the dog gets used to gauze or finger brushing, gradually switch to a toothbrush. After each brushing, give the dog a small food reward to build a positive association.
