Dog hygiene does not end with washing paws after a walk and cleaning eyes or ears. The owner should remember that brushing the pet's teeth is a must.
It is necessary to brush your dog's teeth regularly, but not all dog owners know how often.
Dogs also need to have their teeth brushed, and this needs to be done on a regular basis, Vladimir Golubev, head of the Russian Cynological Federation, told Izvestia .
How Often Should You Brush Your Dog's Teeth?
If the dog responds normally to such care and does not resist cleaning, then you can pay attention to the dog's oral hygiene every day.
If difficulties arise, then two cleanings a week will be sufficient.
To do this, you need to purchase a special toothpaste and brush.
Why is this important?
One of the common health problems in dogs is tartar.
In addition, dogs develop caries, which is why dogs have their teeth treated, filled, or given dentures.
Experts consider periodontitis to be a serious disease, which is difficult to treat and leads to tooth loss.
Therefore, it is important to remember that the dog’s diet should not include sweets, bones, or toys that can injure the teeth.
