Unfortunately, getting your pet used to having his teeth brushed is a rather complicated process that should be started at an early age.
Choose a time when the animal is calm and begin by rubbing the teeth with your finger or a bandage.
Gradually move on to using toothpaste and a brush, do not forget to praise your pet and reward him with treats.
Special gels and pastes have been sold for cleaning animals' teeth for a long time.
A large selection of such products is presented in pet stores. You can choose the one that your pet likes the most.
You will also need a brush.
It can be a classic brush with handles or a cap with bristles that is put on the finger. Soft toothbrushes intended for children are also suitable.
If you know about your pet's timid nature, try an alternative option - wet gauze with water and wrap it around your finger.
Teeth cleaning should be done daily. In addition, it is recommended to visit the veterinarian once every 6-12 months to perform ultrasonic cleaning and polishing of teeth.
