Precautions for brushing your dog’s teeth

1. Choose a mouthwash specially designed for dogs

Brushing your dog’s teeth is not an easy task. Not only does it take time and effort for dog owners, but the dog may not be able to accept brushing, so you might as well try using mouthwash for your dog. Just pour about a capful of TQ Dog Mouthwash into 500ml of your dog's drinking water and let your dog drink it to help clean his mouth.

2. Choose a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste

When brushing your dog’s teeth, dog owners should choose a dog-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. In terms of toothpaste flavors, dog owners can choose the flavor that their dogs like, such as beef flavor, chicken flavor, etc.

3. Use tooth cleaning spray for dogs

You can also use tooth cleaning spray for dogs. When using it, the dog owner needs to lift the dog’s head and lift the dog. Open the dog's mouth, and then spray some dental cleaning spray on the dog's teeth. Be careful not to spray it into the dog's throat.

How to brush your dog’s teeth

1. Hold the dog’s muzzle, spread the lips on both sides, and brush its teeth and gums.

2. Put the toothbrush between the teeth and gums at a 45-degree angle, and rotate it in thin circles on the teeth.

3. Then brush up and down to wipe away the tartar from between the teeth. Repeat this step until the tooth surface is clean.

4. Brush along the gum line, which is where plaque and tartar accumulate.

5. Spray the dog’s mouth to rinse away toothpaste and foreign matter.
