Brushing Your Pet's Teeth

Pets have teeth just like we do! Most pet owners do not brush their pet's teeth. That can be such an important step for your pets health to keep them happy and healthy for years to come.
First, make sure you have a pet toothbrush and toothpaste. Human brushes don't work as well and human toothpaste can be toxic. Pets don't really know they have to spit it out! Besides, pet toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors your pet will find more tasty than mint or cinnamon.
Start off slow. Just put some toothpaste on the brush and let your pet lick it off. Do not attempt to actually brush yet. Do this for about a week. Then, try to brush just the front teeth. Don't go for the whole mouth yet. Then, after another week or so of that, try to brush the front teeth and a few of the side teeth. Slowly continue in that fashion until you can brush your pet's teeth with no problem! An added bonus: no more yucky doggie breath!
