Let’s take a look at Dog Dental Care
Taking care of your dog’s teeth such as brushing should not become a burden to you or to your dog. Instead, you should make it an enjoyable bonding time for you and your pet. Remember to take things slowly, avoid overly restraining your dog if he shows dislike in the activity. Provide praises to your dog throughout the brushing session to make him feel comfortable. Brushing sessions should also be short and positive so that your pet will learn to look forward to this kind of activity instead of dreading it.
Daily brushing of your dog’s teeth does not only provide quality bonding time but helps prevent occurrence of dental disease such as periodontal disease, the most common canine dental disease. Periodontal disease in your pet is manifested by this signs: bad breath, loose teeth, gingivitis, chattering, drooling, loss of appetite and bleeding gums.
Tooth brushing should be introduced to your pet in his early age so that he can easily accept the procedure. Preferably, brushing should be started when your pup is 8 to 12 weeks old. Ensure to have your veterinarian check your dog’s teeth before starting a tooth-brushing program. If your dog has damaged teeth or dental disease, brushing may be painful and he may even bite you just to avoid the activity. Before the actual brushing, have your pet dog get used to your looking into his mouth. Praise or reward him with treats after every successful mouth check-up.
