Love those sloppy kisses but not that stinky breath? We’ve been there too. Here are 5 proven solutions for oral health in dogs that you should follow!
Dog-safe toothpaste & brush
Use a dog-safe toothpaste & soft bristle brush to use once a week. Do not use human toothpaste. It may contain ingredients that are toxic for dogs.
Dental chew treats
Invest in soft yet sturdy dental chew treats for your dogs. These chew treats will help remove any plaque or tartar buildup.
Avoid rawhide or cooked bones as chew treats. These will do more harm than good.
Including food like mint & coconut oil
Your dog’s food habits also lead to bad breath. Include mint in their diet to help freshen their breath. While Coconut oil can help get rid of any bacteria buildup.
Water + ACV mix
Mix 1 part ACV in 4 parts of water in their bowl. ACV’s acidic properties act as a natural disinfectant. Do this every day & see a difference!
Fruits & veggies as treats
Give your dog’s regular treats a ditch & opt for fruits like deseeded Apples and carrots. These treats will keep their teeth clean & breath fresh.
You can also offer sugar-free treats to avoid any dental harm.
P.S. – These will be great for teething puppies too!
Underlying Health Conditions
While these solutions work great, don’t skip regular vet visits. If these are not working for your dog, there’s a chance of underlying health issues. It’s only right to treat the root cause of it.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
You can also get your dog’s teeth professionally cleaned once in a while. This will remove any and all sorts of tartar buildup, plaque etc.
