Monitoring your dog's hygiene also means monitoring the condition of the oral cavity, that is, brushing your pet's teeth.

This does not need to be done as often as it may seem, but even a small plaque will have to be removed. The same applies to tartar. This will help preserve your pet's teeth until old age.

How to brush a dog's teeth

This procedure uses a soft brush and can be done without any special tools.

Pastes and gels for dogs are often sold in sets with toothbrushes.

In general, the procedure is not much different from the one that a person carries out every morning and evening.

The most important thing is to reward the dog for patience. Then, in a few weeks, the pet will get used to it, will willingly obey the owner and wait for a reward.

If the animal does not obey, then instead of a brush you need to use special treats - bones, sticks and other developments.

But these remedies are effective at the initial stage, until the plaque becomes dense.
