How to Clean Dog Teeth

Learn how to clean and take care of your dog's teeth in this free online video series.

Series Summary

There are many ways in which our dogs are self-sufficient, but given the fact that the once wild species is now existing primarily in households and in domesticated circumstances, their diets and routines are drastically different than they would be in the wild. Ours pets teeth require a fair amount of attention to ensure they are able to maintain healthy canines, teeth and gums, especially as they advance in age. Since dogs don't have typically carnivorous diets (aren't hunting their own prey, sharpening teeth by breaking through skin and bone to eat), they require special toys and instruments to help keep their teeth sharp, as well as the occasional tooth-brushing to ensure their long-term oral health. This is especially true for dogs that might get the occasional “human food” sweet snack or scrap at home.

In this free video clip series, our expert canine oral hygienist will explain the basic idea of maintaining your dog's healthy teeth and gums with tips and techniques for brushing, inspecting for problems, and eliminating and preventing tartar. You will also learn how to prepare your dog for a trip to the veterinarian for a tooth checkup, as well as methods for promoting healthy teeth at home.
