Brushing your dogs teeth can be such a pain at times.
It’s something that most dogs hate having done and most owners hate doing. But there is an easy easy way to get your dog used to tooth brushing.
Brushing your dogs teeth helps prevent cavities, plaque and smelly dog breath
Here is a short video on how you can make your dog comfortable with having their teeth brushed

Ted lets me brush his teeth, and he tolerates it well but doesn’t like it. However, I like knowing that I won’t need to spend hundreds of dollars anytime soon to have his teeth cleaned again.
It really is a great preventative for so many things
I was so remiss in brushing Henrietta’s teeth when I got her that now, 10 years later, she hates it and needs vet treatments for them. We are getting a new puppy in May and we will be brushing his teeth regularly. Great reminder
Starting from young is always helpful
We had to start small with our older dog. Charlie took to tooth brushing right away. A yummy toothpaste and lots of treats always help! Great info!
So glad you found it helpful
Great post, I don’t like my teeth being brushed but it is so important! 🙂
Make sure you show your owners this post so they will give you some peanut butter or nom noms to get used to it
Layla hates it but I will not give in to her, her teeth were black when I got her from the shelter and 5 years later they are pearly white 🙂
Wow thats great.
Is that just from brushing?
Mr. N deals with it but it’s not his favorite. We brush his teeth every day.
That’s great
Great post! Dental care is so important! Zoe and Phoenix get their teeth brushed daily!
We don’t manage daily but do it as often as I remember 😉
Well done you
My Bentley LOVES to have his teeth brushed. If I show him his toothbrush, he will come running!
Yea, I’m guilty of not brushing nightly. Both dogs just hate it so I avoid it. Luckily, the vet feels like they both are doing great in this area.
We brush every other night….we gots to get on a nightly brushing! Thanks for this great reminder. Our pups do enjoy it – so it’s just me needing to get my stuff together!
Great How to video. I gotta get back in a routine of brushing the pups teeth!
I bet it’s easier than brushing the cat’s teeth. We’ve only just started doing this… and it’s not easy. Slow steps for us.
Our cats are so much better than the dogs when it comes to this.
It’s exactly the same method but instead of peanut butter you use tuna or bonito flakes
What a great way to start them out to get used to it and slowly work your way to the actual thing. Roxy won’t let me do it, but with my fingers, so we do that and a dental bone so she at least gets some.
Good reminder. Kilo is not keen but we try. He also chews his Bullwrinkles which does seem to remove some plaque. He hates the vet too.
It interesting how far dental health care for our pets have come. Thanks – great instructions and tutorial.
Great information. It amazes me how many people DON’T do this.
We always brush 1 to 2 times a day. Such a firm believer.
Dental Pet Month is so important – I’m a CVT and dentals literally can save your pet’s life.
Good video! Simba doesn’t mind the tooth brushing much…I think he just likes the dog toothpaste…greedy haha :
Dental health is very important for both dogs and cats. I need to work on brushing Truffle and Brulee’s teeth.
Excellent post & great video! You’ve done a wonderful job showing that you really to need to do a slow introduction to teeth brushing for most dogs. I’m still struggling with teeth brushing but will take a few steps back and try it your way w/ the peanut butter – I love that idea!
