What kind of toothpaste do you use for your dog?
I brush my dog%26#039;s teeth with Petrodex Natural Toothpaste, peanut butter flavored =]. My dog loves it! He always looks forward to getting his teeth brushed because of the toothpaste, but once we get into the process of actually doing it he hates it! I got it from Petsmart, and it also came with a finger toothbrush and a regular dog toothbrush. Maybe you would want to consider it.





To brush my dog%26#039;s teeth, I have him lay on my lap. Then I lift his upper lip and brush his teeth in a circular motion. I do the same thing on the other side, and then again on the bottom teeth. When his mouth starts to open a little, I brush back at the back teeth. At the end of the procedure, I rub his ears, tell him he%26#039;s a good boy, kiss his nose, and let him be free!
Reply:I use an all-natural toothpaste that is peanut flavored. My dog loves it! The brand is Petrodex.
Reply:I use Peanut Butter flavored DOG toothpaste also.





It%26#039;s SO difficult with my dog..he jaws are so powerful, she clamps down on my hand and won%26#039;t open her mouth. She HATES teeth brushing but is SO tolerant of it.





I think the brand I use is Cain %26amp; Able..
Reply:Always use a specially formulated dog toothpaste. Because dogs can%26#039;t rinse and spit after a brushing, the dog toothpaste must be safe for pets to swallow! Some human toothpastes contain detergents which can irritate pets%26#039; stomachs, and, in addition, large quantities of ingested fluoride can harm pets.
Reply:try getting beef flavor toothpaste for your dog.
Reply:you can get one that taste of beef try your local pet store or vets
Reply:I use Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste for dogs. I usually buy the Beef flavor, but my groomer says that he also likes Chicken.
Reply:Sounds like it is not the toothpaste that he dislikes but it is the process of brushing. You could try to give him rawhides once in awhile so you don%26#039;t have to brush as frequently or a Greenie. I know many people are against rawhide or greenies, but Trader Joes sells some all-American ones that are great with my dog. You could try to turn the experience into a more positive one by offering him a special treat and lots of praise when he/she is done:-) hopefully this helps...
Reply:My dog likes chianti flavored toothpaste.It also has a therapeutic effect as well.........
Reply:i use the beef flavored tooth paste. try that one. he may like it.
Reply:i scale their teeth once every week or so.- as needed. mainly the back ones on top that get yukky..





good habit to get into... i don%26#039;t think brushing them does any good
Reply:I buy my pets toothpaste from the vet. It%26#039;s a better quality than the ones that are in the shops. It%26#039;s not mint flavoured - I can%26#039;t imagine any pet liking mint (lol) - it%26#039;s just a pleasant taste. Ask the vet what he would recommend.
Reply:I use Enzadent - it is supposed to taste like peanut butter. I use a finger toothbrush. They like it. They sit up real proud and seem to think I am just rubbing peanut butter around in their mouths for them! I only do each dog about once a week, but they always have good dental checkups. They also get Nylabone chewbones - the hard kind that are meant only for chewing, not the edible kinds.
