How To Brush Your Pet’s Teeth

Written by admin on February 12th, 2009 in Pet Care.

The American Animal Hospital Association and other groups recommend brushing your pet’s teeth every day if possible.

1. Introduce a brushing program to pets gradually. Avoid over-restraining your pet and keep brushing sessions short and positive. A cat or small dog can be held in your lap. Praise and reassure your pet throughout the process.

2. At first, dip a finger into beef bouillon for dogs or tuna water for cats. Rub the soaked finger gently over the pet’s mouth and teeth. Make the initial sessions short and positive.

3. Gradually, introduce gauze over the finger and gently scrub the teeth in a circular motion.

4. Finally, you can introduce a soft toothbrush. Use a sensitive or ultrasoft brush designed for people or a brush designed for pets., available from your veterinarian or pet store. Don’t use toothpaste made for people or baking soda because it could upset the animal’s stomach. The entire process should take only a minute or two.
