Dental care for dogs is serious business, and there are a number of ways to help keep their teeth in good shape.
Things to consider:
Brushing Up – Dental care is every bit as integral to dog health care as it is to human health care. Dogs, which are 1– to 3–years–old, should have their teeth brushed with a toothbrush and toothpaste made for dogs once each week. Dogs older than 3 years should have their teeth brushed 3 times each week.
Special Needs – A doggie dental care no–no: never use human toothpaste on your dog. For proper dog health care, your dog needs toothpaste made specifically for dogs, which contains an enzyme required for his total dental care.
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch – Dog biscuits and dog bones, like "Milk Bones," are not only essential supplements to your dog´s diet but an integral part of your dog´s dental care program as well. They keep your dog´ teeth and gums clean, strong, and healthy. Dog biscuits prevent tartar, keep your dog´s teeth vitally sharp, and freshens his breath.
