A dog will eat and chew on many different things that can cause major stinky dog breath. Brushing your dog’s teeth can rid your dog of the dreaded, smelly doggy breath. Keeping your dog’s teeth healthy will help keep him healthy.

Brushing your dog’s teeth sounds almost ridiculous? Well, it’s not and it is very important to the health of the dog just as it is to us dog owners. We don’t want out dogs to suffer from any major dental issues so brushing weekly can lower the risk of problems.

One thing you might be thinking is “how am I supposed to brush my dog’s teeth?” Well, since you can’t teach your dog to rinse and spit, you use a special doggie toothpaste. Also, you can purchase a finger toothbrush in the dog pet supplies section of your local pet store.

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.

Unlike their human counterparts, there are no doggy dentists. If a tooth gets broken, it’s more than likely going to have to come out. Unless you can find it early and get your dog to the vet so he can check it out and prevent an infection.

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?

Always use caution when playing with your dog. As we have mentioned, broken teeth can cause serious infection which can be harmful to your beloved dog, so play fetch and catch with your dog, but don’t be careless. You dog will love you for it.

If you are just not sure, it never hurts to hit the dog pet supplies section at your local vet or pet store. There are many safe items on the market that are also age appropriate so read the labels. Remember that dog’s love to chew things up so avoid things with buttons or other items they can choke on.

As your puppies grow and their adult teeth start coming in, they will become big chewers. Rawhide bones are great for this time in a puppies’ life. Changing out the toys as they start to get torn up is safe and will eliminate the risk of choking for your puppy.
