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.
How to clean your pet's teeth?
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.
