I give thick bone (the kind he loves) to my dog and hold the bone from the other end. While my dog bites the bone I can brush the other side of his teeth from all sides. Then I move the bone (or let him move it) to the other side of his mouth and I wash the other side of his teeth from all sides.
Then I let him eat the bone as a reward. It helps if your dog is little hungry.
I use kids soft toothbrush to clean his teeth and I can also use kids electric brush with small, soft brush to his big teeth. I sometimes also rub the front side of his teeth with clean cloth.
I have rescue dog and I have tried every possible other way and I managed to only brush his teeth from front sides with the other ways.
I also make parsley (smashed) coconut oil icecubes for my dog so that it gets to his teeth because he has to bite it. I give those and soft coconut oil to him after his meals. They kill bacterias and have many other benefits in animals and humans.
Nice video. We just started brushing the dogs' teeth yesterday and hope to keep their teeth healthy!
You make it look so easy!!! I will buy Bill a brush and paste tomorrow......wish me luck!!!
Great video! I write a health column for Carolina Boxer Rescue newsletter and will link to this video so people can see exactly how to care for their dogs teeth.
Right to the point, concise, energetic demo. You've just inspired me to give it a go; thanks.
Informable on technique. Thank you!
Cutest dog to use for this awesome video!
Thank you for this video! It was very useful to me this week!
You made me brave enough to start with cleaning my dog's teeth.
I really enjoyed the very informative and well explained video, well done, thumbs up, now definitely it will be much easier for me to brush Maxx teeth, thank you.
Best dog toothbrushing video. Some people have way too many brushes and steps lol
Wow! Great, great video! I brush my dogs' teeth. I use a soft-bristled kiddie toothbrush. Baking soda mixed with water and cinnamon also works.
I didn't know that Matthew McConaughey became a veterinarian!
milesofdavis28 a bit alike lol
lol
i cant not see it now
Ahaha, so funny! 😂
Thank you for the video!! I had seen a few videos that said that I had to brush the inside of the teeth and more. And I did not know about human toothpaste! My pup loved the minty flavor so I thought it was ok, now I know better!!💖
U dumb asf for using regular toothpaste
I didn’t know I needed to brush my dogs teeth until recently so this is helpful 👍🏼
Y'up twice a week so the do not get infections and loose teaeh.
I ought to post a video showing how I do this. I've got an easier method. Get your dog to lay down first. You stand over your dog facing forward. Get a cup of room temperature water (cold isn't nice if your dog possibly has tooth sensitivity), use a child's toothbrush (needs to be a straight brush, no curves - nothing fancy), and toothpaste (made for dogs - I use CET or Petrodex ... flavor doesn't matter as long as dog likes it). Sit the brush in the water right up front in reach. Just start brushing. Dab some toothpaste on the brush, and have at it. The toothpaste is great. Dog salivates more (you want this). Go all around, and yes you can do the insides the best you can reach. I pop the brush into the water throughout brushing which acts as a rinse. This is a far easier way to position yourself to effectively brush. Takes 3 minutes usually....5 minutes total (if you include the time to get the cup/brush/water/ and put it back).
Dogs love to have their teeth brushed. They might be kind of squirmy at first. Be gradual. they'll get use to this.
Most important: Unless your dog is a age 0-2 yrs of age with fairly clean gumlines, you MUST get a professional cleaning before brushing. Dogs will have BAD gingivitis from all that hardened plaque that must be removed. If you proceed to brush before a professional dental cleaning, you cause painful bleeding from that irritation that is really quite unhealthy. Don't bother brushing at all if you don't do the dental cleaning first. Once the dental cleaning is completed, if you brush daily (which you should - once per day for dogs is enough), you might not have to do another professional dental cleaning for three years.
Fun info: My Lab is 13 yrs old. He has beautiful teeth. He's actually sporting a blingy crown on a canine he broke at age 6. If anyone is in Knoxville, TN and needs a dentist for your dog, contact Dr. Sharon Startup. She does awesome work!
Speaking of toothbrushes. Preserve - child's toothbrush
Good info. What do those pro cleanings usually cost?
You don't rinse off this type of toothpaste. It's enzymatic, the whole point of it is to leave it on the dogs teeth. Best to leave advice giving to the experts 👍
Good info and awesome demonstration
Very awesome method
Great video! I'm glad you mentioned the oral systemic connection.
Great explanation and video. Well done and Thanks a bunch !!!
Great video thank you! Why do we not have to brush the inside molars?
Best Video on brushing your dogs teeth I've seen.
Thank you
Thanks for the info & techniques, I appreciate that!
This was a great video. Very helpful. Thank you.
you make it look so easy :) are you doing the motion of up and down or side to side brushing?
How much pressure do you apply? My guess is gently but will that clean well? Thanks for sharing!
Very informative, thank you for this.
please make this as the question of the month!! my question is this: how do you feed picky dogs?
Thank you!
What a good video.......very helpful.
Hey Doc, you did not touch on rinsing or show how to do it or is it not necessary. Thanks.
Montery12 don’t need it. They just lick it
Will this work on plaque already there?
Very good video!!!
So first step is to train my puppy to let me hold his head.. got it! Very informative thanks
Hi! I have a terrier who is about 7 or so years old, and he has not been trained to accept tooth brushing yet. Should I start introducing him to tooth brushing the same way as I would a younger dog? Also, he likes our toothpaste so much that he constantly licks the brush, and I'm not able to get the brush into his mouth because his tongue is in almost always in the way. Would you have any suggestions for how to remedy this?
your dog is a sweet heart.
I have a question, we don't clean the toung?
thanks for the tips!
Such a nice dog
At what age should you start? can you use a human soft tooth brush? or buy one's designed for dogs?
Thank you so helpful!
Great video, tell that to my Dobmen pincher . She loves eating my tooth paste and my brush. I can't hide it. Yes I took her to the vets, her teeth are perfect. Yes I brush her teeth before I do. She obsessive. She demand her teeth or mine after every meal. Snacking is elsewhere... If I sneak it. She love Cinnamon Close-up or Mint flavor.
Incorrect spelling of equipment but otherwise a very informative video thanks
Thank you❣️
At what age do you start brushing
that really help me, thank you so much you guys
Does this help their stinky mouth? One of my dogs started eating his own poop 😞
Hi, could you do a video on how to clean dog's ears please?

Hello Dr., Can we brush my 3yr old Chihuahuas tongue as well or no??? She. Loves the food we buy her but eww it leaves a bad odor yuk!!!

What if the dog swallows the toothpaste? Not sure if you already touched on that and I missed it.

Do you know any org that helps low income people with teeth cleaning,my vet charges 700 for cleaning and that's a large sum for me,live in queens New York,if you or anyone has info please reply,have a 6 ur old mini dachshund
Thank you
I give my Chihuahua a little benadryl and wrap him up with a towl.. Like swaddle him. (He hates me and knows whats about to happen when I pull out the towel) i brush his teeth with a wash cloth and a no rinse gel i get at walmart sometimes I buy those teeth wipes too. My other 2 dogs like the process and allow me to clean their teeth. My oldest his teeth are awful amd his breath is like. A garbage truck!
Thank you for all the info but can u make your own dog toothbrush??
He's using a child's toothbrush
great vid
But why is it necessary only on some dog is the diet a factor
Danke!!
Is it ok to use my dog s toothepase for my cat biotene toothpaste dog
Sweet dog
Why not brush the lingual surfaces? Humans certainly need that and often don't realize it. It's not just about looks.
i want your video and i try it
awesome... giving this a try!!
how many times . 1 aweek?
My dog Mimi won't let me hold her mouth and brush her teeth. I wish she was more cooperative.
Good Dog!
How often should I brush my dogs teeth?
I recommend brushing it daily but at least 3 times a week
can u use a dog bone instead of brushing it's teeth? like a dog bone that makes the teeth healthy
no.. unless you don't want their teeth to get clean
I had a golden from about 6 months old. She was so mischievous that I couldn't trust her for a minute to not be into something. Digging a hole or eating trees. The local market packaged bones (non splintering type) I cut off the meat (very little was there) (did not cook) and gave her one each day or almost every day and of course then she expected it but it kept her out of trouble and her teeth were beautiful. I did not brush them. When she got over getting into stuff so bad I didn't give her as many bones and they also got hard to get but her teeth then did need to be cleaned but in my case bones did help tremendously.
Good job! I use baking soda.
I wish my dog was this compliant...
the hell. how is your dog so still
HE SAID DAB *Dabs*
Good
so you don't have to rinse the toothpaste?
ant chminc that's what my question is...I'm worried for it
ant chminc no, the dog swallows it
Can it freshen up there breath?
yep
Lol the dog is so responsive
zoji rushi I’ve been brushing my dogs teeth for years and she still resists
So true, use a baby toddler toothbrush... the dog ones do not work.
We just got my dog a toothbrush and I feel like he is gonna be so difficult
Be patient and work slowly as demonstrated. Work with him just a little each day.
Try doing that with a fully grown male german shepard who is trained but does not like you doing it
How many had trouble cleaning your dog teeth?
Why don’t you have to brush the inside of their teeth?
We dont have to wash after brush?? She's going to eat it all
ARINDAM TALUKDAR I wanna know too
why dont you brush the other side of the teeth?
I'm not a vet, but whenever I check my own dog's teeth, especially after she eats, all of the "foody gunk" is present on the outer side of the teeth.
I know that this *does not* mean that there aren't bacteria on the inner side of the teeth, but I'd guess that it makes the outer side more vulnerable due to the accumulation taking place there.
I brush our 3 dogs teeth every night and we brush both sides. They have nice white teeth and no foul odors from their mouths.
KellyLee62 lmao. You don't have to brush a dogs teeth every day 😂😂😂. People like you makes dogs lives miserable
KellyLee62 those poor dogs probably fuckin hate their lives
J W Their tongues take care of the inside.
did you chisel her teeth down? :(
Dog toothpaste is $10. To the best of my knowledge, peanut butter is an alternate. For the record, nuts are bad for dogs, but peanuts are a legume, not a nut.
then just use virgin coconut oil, $15 for a jar
sus2731 Some say coconut oil is bad for dogs; some say otherwise. I like peanut butter; it's nice & cheap. I for one, binge on peanut butter.
Do you still have to brush it 3 times a day?
papaGhurka peanut butter is very bad i have learned... if it contains a word tht starts with a x. im sorry tht idk how to spell it but it was on the news tht its even in our dogs peanut butter bisquits to look for it. coconut oil is very good and great amino acid. u can give ur dogs up to teasoon a day. great for their digestion. and hair n skin
The whole point of using the toothpaste is the enzymes in it that clean and kill bacteria. You're just rubbing peanut butter into your dogs mouth. If $10 once a month is too much money, maybe a dog is too much money.
“My dog is very food-oriented” Which animal isn’t?
Alright alright alright...
People crack me up how they dance around what their dog breed is, due to stigma and stereotype...that is clearly a female Pit Bull. And being a vet, he know's it as well as anyone. "Possibly some boxer in her"...yeah possible I suppose, but at least 85% Pit. Which by the way, are typical for allowing you to do just about anything to them...the truth behind the breed. At least a couple hundred years of needing to be able to reach right into a active fight without getting yourself mangled, is why these dogs, when raised correctly, would never bite you for sticking you hands in their mouths. You nearly have to train them to be people-aggressive for them to be that way. 40 years of consistently raising them has me sick at the media's portrayal of this breed. They are in fact one of the least likely dogs to bite you.
should a dogs teeth be flossed?
No, if you feed a healthy balanced raw diet, you won;t need to
She's licking it because because she loves it, she's enjoying because its so yummy?!! WTH
Prevention is better than cure, brushing teeth isn't the only way
Hahaha chicken breath!
chicken breath!
Oh god this is going to be a nightmare but anyways.
My dog Mimi won't let me hold her mouth and brush her teeth. I wish she was more cooperative.
