how do you brush a dog teeth. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 70 lbs

I would try to find a dog finger brush or a small tooth brush and you will want to use dog tooth paste as it doesn't have fluoride, no foaming and not mint flavored so it makes it more favorable to the dog. You can slow start by just do a small section and work your way around the whole mouth over a matter of a few days. It is best to try and brush their teeth at least every other day to may a difference. Also remember that their large chewing teeth are further in the back past where their lips end. I would not try to open the mouth to get the inside of the teeth as most dogs don't appreciate that. If he doesn't like it or resists you, then it may be best just to give him dental chews like C.E.T chews and start using a water additive for dental health. Also, if the teeth already have a lot of tartar build up, he will likely need a dental cleaning from your vet. I hope this helps!

Good on you for wanting to brush Jack's teeth! It's very important to do for his dental health. I would make it a fun experience for him. Pet him and praise him before doing it, letting him know he's a good boy. I would recommend brushing his teeth right before a meal, so he associates getting his teeth brushed with a positive experience. Dogs love getting fed, so feeding him right after brushing his teeth will make it more fun for him. After his teeth are brushed, praise him and pet him again, and then feed him. It will take time for him to get used to having his teeth brushed, but if you make it a fun experience, he will adapt better to it.
