Great question! You will need to use a dog formulated toothpaste and brush. Never use human toothpaste because it contains fluoride which is toxic to dogs. You can get the toothbrush and paste from a pet store. I will include a link on how to brush Cane's teeth: http://www.wikihow.com/Brush-a-Dog%27s-Teeth
