Toothbrush: There will be toothbrushes specially designed for pets for sale in pet stores. Of course, you can wrap your fingers with gauze to scrub their teeth, but it is more troublesome.

Toothpaste: Never use human toothpaste to brush your pet’s teeth, because the detergent ingredients contained in it will harm your pet’s gastrointestinal tract. In addition, maybe we really can't accept beef or chicken flavored toothpaste, but this is really attractive to pets, and those human toothpastes that contain fluoride, calcium and mint are really attractive to them. The most disgusting thing.

How to use: It is almost impossible to get your pet to cooperate with you in brushing their teeth. If you follow the correct method, then everything will go very smoothly after a while. 1.

You just need to use your fingers to gently massage their teeth through your lips. The duration of each massage should not be too long, and after completion, you can give them some delicious snacks as rewards to make them feel that brushing their teeth is a very happy thing. 2. After a period of time, you can start the second step of training: gently open your lips, dip your fingers wrapped in gauze into toothpaste, and massage a few teeth, first 2, then 3, 4...

If your pet refuses to cooperate with brushing its teeth, you can also try to work around it by applying toothpaste on a rubber toy. Because pet toothpaste usually has a delicious taste, and rubber toys are easier to clean. This is a relatively acceptable method for both humans and dogs.

10. Regular feeding

If you leave a bowl full of food on the ground, which means that pets can eat at any time from morning to night, then the bacteria attached to the teeth will become more and more rampant. The correct feeding method should be a fixed time and a fixed number of times a day. Each feeding should not exceed 30 minutes. Then, regardless of whether the pet has finished eating, the food bowl should be taken away and washed. Doing so will not only reduce the chance of bacterial growth and allow pets to develop good eating habits, but will also be of great benefit to their gastrointestinal tract..
