Do we have to take into account that animals are like us, in what sense?. In the care of bathing, brushing your hair and CLEANSING YOUR TEETH, Why did you highlight this?, Simply because of the fact that many people with pets, this part does not see it important when in reality it is not like that, If you do not take good care of your oral hygiene, it can have SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
When tartar begins to accumulate on the teeth due to LACK OF CLEANING, This can cause gingivitis, halitosis among others, I imagine that for many that does not sound so "serious", but!!! If the tartar continues to move, the gums begin to retract to the point of causing the loss of some dental structures and we should not only remember that tartar has many bacteria, if only those bacteria go through the bloodstream, this can affect vital organs such as the HEART, KIDNEY OR THE LIVER, that can endanger the lives of our pets.
But there are ways to prevent tartar from accumulating, many of you may wonder, BUT AS A BRUSH TO A DOG?
If you can brush a puppy dog, but they will also say ¡¡¡¡¡¡ MY DOG IS ALREADY BIG !!!!!!, It is not an impossible task.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE HUMAN DENTAL PASTE, AS IT HAS FLUOR THAT IS VERY TOXIC FOR THEM.
You can motivate them with prizes like a small candy that is solid, first you have to lift the belfo (lips) and start brushing down so that all that residue comes out, Of course, you must have a lot. PATIENCE that is why it is the treatment so that this task is not only irritating for them, There is also another way that your dog will love, give him a bone of RES with cartilage , this will help a lot to remove the layer of tartar from your dog, of course as long as the tartar is not very accumulated, there are also toys for this, but in my opinion, I prefer these toys for puppies that tend to bite everything.
There are also very, very strong treats for this that I think are very effective.
How often should teeth be cleaned?, good when they are puppies it is better to do it like 5 times a week because at this age they are in a learning period, so when they grow up they will see it as a habit, but when they are big they will be cleaned twice a week.
YOU MUST ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN that pasta is better to use, it is very important to choose the product you are going to use, It can not be any product, so I stress that the recommendation of a professional is very important.
