Brushing your pet’s teeth should be part of your daily routine. We recommend brushing 5 out of 7 days! If you are having difficulty let us know, we give FREE TOOTH BRUSHING DEMOS!
- Introduce a brushing program gradually and early; training may take several days or weeks.
- At first, dip your finger into beef bouillon for a dog or tuna water for a cat, and rub you finger over the pet’s mouth and teeth.
- Make these initial sessions brief and positive.
- Introduce gauze on your finger with the same beef or tuna flavour and begin rubbing the teeth in a circular motion.
- Before graduating to a soft-bristle toothbrush, put a small amout of toothpaste specifically designed for pets on your finger and allow the pet to taste it.
- Finally, apply a small dab of pet toothpaste on a moist toothbrush and allow your pet to lick the bristles. Begin brushing gently at
a 45 degree angle away from the gumline. - Please note: Toothpaste designed for people contains ingredients that may upset your pet’s stomach.
Here at Best Friends Animal we carry a variety of pet toothbrushes and toothpastes from chicken and salmon to vanilla mint!
BRUSH REGULARLY FOR A HEALTHY SMILE!
