Brushing teeth?

My 9 year old small dog just had a teeth-cleaning last week. They extracted 5 of his teeth at the same time which cost me $250. His bad breath is gone now too and hopefully he wont be so cranky anymore. How can I keep his remaining teeth clean? I dont feed him human food or snacks. My other dog same age has clean teeth. How can I brush his teeth? He wont like that at all!

Brushing teeth?
Get a good quality rope toy.( at the pet shop, not the dollar store) ..the ones that appear to be twisted string tied in a knot. Soak it in unsalted broth. Dry it in a very slow oven. he will try to chew all the falovor out of that, and it works as dental floss to keep his teeth clean, and his breath fresh.


If he grows tired, (couple of months)as the flavor is gone, just wash by hand, and re-soak.
Reply:get some dog food flaored toothpaste and a brush which goes on your finger (like a thimble) - make it fun and dogs love it!
Reply:hmm? I had a little toy poodle for years (sadly died of old age last year) but she loved having her teeth brushed.. I think its cause she liked the toothpaste.. I found some paste at the health store that wouldnt bother her if she swallowed it.. tasted like fruit.. It was meant for little kids. but I used to brush her teeth once a week when I bathed her. She loved it, of course between the lapping and swallowing of the paste, I managed to clean her teeth..

Reply:Pet stores sell a ton of stuff for this. Funny thing is that you don't really have to "brush" like we do. You can use things that slip over your finger with soft rubber nubs that basically does the same thing. Finding the right pet toothpaste will help too. Try to find a couple of different flavors and mix it up. That way, the dog will look forward to something new. You should only have to brush every month or so. If dog's had such bad teeth, there would be separate dog dentists for that. It's because they don't eat sugar like we do.





Also, there are a bunch of dog treats that say they help keep the teeth clean.
Reply:You dont have to brush his teeth try buying DentaBone wich is for dogs clean teeth and fresh breath, or they make certain dog foods for teeth, allow the vet to do the cleanings for you so you can avoid and damage to the gums or teeth.
