Dog Dental and Oral Care

Dog teeth and oral care:

1. Brush your teeth regularly

Regular brushing of your dog's teeth is the first step in care. Brushing teeth can effectively remove food residues in the dog's mouth, keep the mouth clean, avoid the deposition of dental calculus, and prevent the formation of periodontal disease. However, owners need to pay attention to the use of dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste for cleaning, because human toothpaste contains too many chemicals, which is not good for dogs.

2. Eat a balanced diet
A dog's diet should be nutritionally balanced, and the food eaten should be formulated according to the dog's lifestyle and life cycle. A well-balanced diet will ensure adequate nutrition, especially calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for dog's teeth to grow. If there is a lack of calcium during the critical period of dog tooth growth, it will lead to double rows of teeth and so on.

3. Filter food types

Try not to feed the dog soft and rotten food, it is very easy to stick in the gap between the teeth and it is difficult to remove. If the dog does not have the habit of brushing his teeth, then over time, the dog's teeth will accumulate a lot of tartar, which will eventually lead to the formation of dental calculus.

4. Dental cleaning aids
You can often let your dog chew specially designed dental cleaning products, such as dog chewing gum, dental cleaning sticks, etc. It allows dogs to clean their teeth during play, slowing down the formation of plaque and calculus. With the right daily care, your dog will have healthy teeth. If you use teeth cleaning bone or cowhide bone, etc., pay attention to the size, so as not to hurt the dog.

5. Teeth cleaning
