How to brush your dog’s teeth

1. Wipe your dog’s teeth with a soft towel or gauze pad, and then use cotton wool soaked in garlic juice. Rub against teeth and gums. If you find food residue in your teeth, you can use tweezers to remove it, but you must pay attention to disinfection and hygiene.

2. Never use human toothpaste to brush your dog’s teeth, as it may cause stomach discomfort. If the dog is very resistant and runs away while brushing its teeth, the owner must be patient.

3. Try not to brush teeth back and forth. This will not only make the dog uncomfortable, but may also damage the soft tissue in the dog’s mouth, causing tooth decay.
