Who would think that your job as a dog owner would involve brushing your dog’s teeth? Well, dog’s can have bad breath just as people do. When you brush your dog’s teeth, then you can enjoy those little doggy kisses with fresh breath, not doggy breath.

As with people, dogs can suffer from the same dental issues as their owners. We can eliminate the same problems that we have by just giving them a good brushing weekly. Tackle that plaque and tarter buildup and give them shiny teeth with minty breath and brush away.

Brushing your dog’s teeth is easier than you think. I have yet to meet a spit and rinse dog so make sure that you purchase doggie toothpaste at the pet store. In the dog pet supplies section, you can also find toothbrushes or finger brushes.

Playing with our dogs by throwing sticks or balls for them to catch can result in broken or chipped teeth. Check your dog’s teeth frequently and save yourself money on unnecessary vet bills. Exercise is important but so is your dog’s health so being diligent with their care helps keep them around longer.

Catching a dog’s teeth problems early can eliminate having to have the tooth pulled. Infection can lead to other medical problems for your dog so make sure that all infections are addressed early. Your dog can’t tell you when he’s sick or injured so be proactive with your pet’s health.

Infections in the mouth can lead to more severe bad breath. So regularly brushing your dog’s teeth and checking for injuries or broken teeth can eliminate any issues early. Doesn’t your dog deserve the best care you can give him?

Make sure when you are playing with your dog, you are using appropriate doggy toys. Teeth can get broken when you are using things that are not dog friendly for your dog to catch or retrieve. Always make sure that the item you are throwing for your dog to catch is size appropriate for your dog.

Hit the dog pet supplies section of your local pet store to find an age appropriate toy suitable for your dog. Getting your dog a toy that is not recommended for them can cause broken teeth, leading to bad breath so make sure their chew toys are what the vet has recommended. If you are not sure, ask the clerk at the store or your vet.

Most of us have experience with a puppies sharp little needle teeth. As they grow, they will start chewing on anything in sight to relieve the pressure of the adult teeth coming through. Be sure to keep plenty of chew toys around for you pups chewing habits and throw away anything that poses a choking hazard.
