Brushing your teeth
"brushing your teeth" gives many owners a headache. Every day in the hospital, the dog’s teeth will be checked. Most dogs have bad breath, and most bad breath is not caused by the intestines, but because of dirty teeth, dental calculus or periodontal disease, caused by bad smell. Because wild wolves want to hunt and eat raw meat, they will use canine teeth to fight their prey, then use incisors to tear the animal’s carcass, and then use molars to grind food, causing the wolf to grind its teeth without knowing it. The condition is not serious; and if a dog pretends to be cute in a human home, food will fall from the sky. It is difficult to live like this without teeth and stones. Many owners like to sleep with their dogs, and some will kiss their dogs every day. I have also met someone who likes to kiss the dog tongue. Don’t you care about bad breath? People brush their teeth once or twice a day, think Think, if you haven’t brushed your teeth for a year, your mouth is full of tartar and tartar, or your significant other has a dirty tooth, would you still kiss or kiss him? Some older generations think that dog saliva can be cured Disease, I think it can be fatal!
teeth can get stones, because the dog's saliva plus food residues, and dental plaque deposition. These stones are full of bacteria, smelly and dirty. If you ignore them, the calculus will gradually become periodontal disease, dentitis, dental periostitis, esophagitis, gastritis, etc. In severe cases, it can also cause bacterial heart disease. Endometritis! Even if you love it and don’t think it smells bad, you have to think about its health! Most people find it troublesome to brush their teeth, and they don’t want to spend the time and energy on brushing their teeth. They think it’s impossible. Obediently let you brush your teeth, so the tartar gets more and more and more and more smelly. Some people will take their dogs to the hospital for anesthesia and dental cleaning, but there are also owners who are unwilling to deal with it in order to save a little money.
I have seen a dog, because the owner has never brushed his teeth or let him wash his teeth. In the end, periodontal disease and dental periostitis caused the mandible to soften and break. The dog couldn't close his mouth every day, his jaw was hanging, painful and hungry, and finally the owner had to be sent to the hospital for euthanasia. If you knew it earlier and helped him brush or wash his teeth, he wouldn't have to suffer this kind of torture, wouldn't it? Faced with dental care, the best way is to help him brush his teeth every day and take it to the hospital regularly.
When a dog was young, he should start brushing his teeth before changing his teeth. You don’t have to brush well, just use some time to play a game of brushing your teeth with your dog to make it like brushing your teeth. After it has changed its teeth, you can easily help it brush its teeth every day and protect its teeth! Remember, this is not brushing, but a "game". You can use a dog toothbrush or use it A soft toothbrush used by children.
Let the dog like to lick the toothpaste
Squeeze the edible enzyme toothpaste on the dog's toothbrush, do not brush, let the dog lick it, the purpose is to let the dog adapt to the feeling of the bristles on the tongue. Continue for a few days, until you take out the toothbrush, it will come automatically, you can enter the second stage. That is, while the dog is licking the toothpaste, gently move the toothbrush back and forth to make it feel the activity of the bristles. This is not really brushing. Similarly, you can enter the next stage after you confirm that the dog has adapted.
Train your dog not to reject the toothbrush
Please hold the dog’s head, let it lick the toothpaste, and put the toothbrush between its teeth and lips (usually you don’t need to brush the inside of the teeth, because the dog’s tongue will clean the inside Teeth), then take it out immediately and let it continue to lick the toothpaste. After confirming that it is not repelling, you can officially start brushing your teeth. Master the way of brushing your dog's teeth. The way to brush your teeth is to brush up and down, not front and back. On the way, as long as you find it feels uncomfortable or repulsive, you should take it out immediately, let it continue to lick the toothpaste, and write down the acceptable brushing time. The next time you brush your teeth, you should interrupt it before it becomes impatient. In addition, every time you brush your teeth, you have to be super happy, praise him with exaggerated expressions and high-frequency voices, as if he is the best dog in the world, so he will like to brush his teeth more and more. Slowly, you can brush all your teeth in one go. But even so, you still praise him every time you brush your teeth.
