Tooth Brushing


Recommended Posts

Should each dog have their own toothbrush? Asking for a friend :blush

Well, they may not each need their own, but they shouldn’t be sharing yours :lol

My thoughts exactly though we've heard plenty of stories.... :hehe

I've always had separate toothbrushes for our greys. 

Thanks, good idea!

Punkin sailed through yesterday's dental and while we need to start brushing, I'm knot sure exactly how many teeth she has left :gmark

Not here. I use one "electric" on all with enzyme paste, and one manual on all with enzyme rinse. It's a nightly ritual that we all endure.

I never have to subject a dog to a basic dental, although there have been broken teeth and a couple of infections due to pre-adoption erosion (bad teeth that probably should have been extracted).

Toodles gets her teeth brushed even though she only has 6; Cal's 4 were done as well.

I highly recommend those squidgy finger brushes! I tried baby brushes but found them a bit harsh on my lad's gums, so they're now my parents' pup's chew toy/accidentally fun toothbrush. I'm very lucky that my lad doesn't mind me brushing the 10 teeth he has left, as he loves the taste of his toothpaste (Beaphar). :)

I use a piece of gauze wrapped around my index finger and a dab of doggie toothpaste.   You can also use a piece of old hosiery. Use, wash, air dry, repeat. 
 

P.S. Does anyone still wear hosiery these days?  🥴
