Just like humans, dogs do benefit from having their teeth in the best shape possible. Regular cleaning helps control plaque and tartar buildup to help keeping their teeth and digestive tract healthy.
Can dogs clean their teeth naturally?
There are multiple ways that help your dog keep their teeth clean. This includes teeth and gum cleaning treats such as dental hygiene chews that are offered by multiple pet food manufacturers. These treats help cleaning teeth while the dog chews them, serving as a snack and a tooth brush at the same time. This is a great option to add teeth cleaning to your everyday routine while making it fun for your pet.
There are other options such as dental care water or spray that offer antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
Can I clean my dog’s teeth myself?
There are dog-safe toothbrushes and tooth paste available for every day use. Regular brushing will help you keep your dogs teeth and gums healthy.
Professional teeth cleaning for your dog
One of the best ways to remove plaque build-up is to schedule a teeth cleaning with your vet. Many animal hospitals provide dental services to remove plaque and tartar and clean and polish your dog’s teeth.
Keeping teeth healthy
Everyday habits play a vital role in your dog’s health. Proper nutrition and cleaning routines will help make it easier to stay off emergency vet visits and keep your pup happy and healthy.
