  1. Getting Your Dog Started With Tooth Brushing Do you brush your dog’s teeth? It’s a great idea for your dog’s dental hygiene and his or her overall health. The question is, how do you get started? Learn more here from a pet clinic Virginia Beach, VA. Rub the Gums First, dip your finger in a bit of broth and rub your dog’s gums and teeth gently. It’s a bit gross, we know, but it gets your pup used to having the mouth handled. And it’s best to start early, ideally when your dog is still a puppy, so he grows up with brushing being normalized. Introduce the Paste and Brush When your dog seems comfortable, allow him to smell and taste the toothpaste (always use a paste made for dogs!). Rub a bit of that around Fido’s gums. Now, you’re ready to start brushing. Brush and Reward Dab a bit of toothpaste on your brush and select an area of the mouth to start with. Use small, circular motions to brush the teeth—focus on the outer surfaces where plaque tends to accumulate. Reward your dog with treats as you work your way around the whole mouth. For help with your dog’s care, call your animal hospital Virginia Beach, VA.
