Animal Question 6
Veterinary Knowledge- Canine - Of the following, which is the BEST way to keep my dog's teeth and gums healthy?
The correct answer is 'brushing with a vet approved dental paste and soft tooth brush'
The very best way to control tartar build-up, gingivitis, and bad breath is daily brushing. Be sure to use a vet approved toothbrush and toothpaste. Even the softest human brush isn't as soft as a dog toothbrush and the flouride in our paste can make dogs ill. Establish this habit very early with your new puppy. Safe chew toys and crunchy tartar control treats and foods are great, but nothing is a substitute for the tooth brush. Althought rawhide can be somewhat effective in keeping teeth clean, it does not breakdown if ingested and if your dog swallows a big enough piece, it can cause an obstruction- this means major surgery!
