Dog Dental Bone Review
***See Amazon ad below for good buys on dog dental bone. If you want to use a dog toothbrush instead of a dog dental bone or in addition to it, here is what the American Kennel Club (AKC) notes, you’ll want to get your dog comfortable with you touching his mouth and teeth first before you come at him with a toothbrush and toothpaste. First, touch his muzzle and practice rubbing your finger along his teeth and gums. Once he can handle this — while staying calm and relaxed — introduce the toothbrush. Let him smell it, and very gently rub it on his teeth. This process may take a few days for each step. Go slowly, and don’t rush your pet. After all, you don’t want him to develop anxious or negative feelings about this routine.
Dog Dental Bone Review
According to the American Veterinary Dental College, it’s estimated that the majority of dogs show signs of periodontal disease by just three years old.
Below are a few signs of possible dog dental health problems and good reasons to have your veterinarian take a look:
- bad breath
- broken or loose teeth
- extra teeth or retained baby teeth
- teeth that are discolored or covered in tartar
- abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth
- reduced appetite or refusal to eat
- pain in or around the mouth
- bleeding from the mouth
- swelling in the areas surrounding the mouth
Chew toys can satisfy your dog’s natural desire to chomp, while making his teeth strong. Gnawing on a chew toy can also help massage his gums and help keep his teeth clean by scraping away soft tartar.
