With your dog's head in your lap, hold it's muzzle. With your other hand stroke it a few times and then lift its upper lip, exposing the teeth. Do this delicately a couple of times to get your dog used to this new area being handled. Each time it allows you to lift the gum without shaking, give a treat!
Do this continually for the following few days till your dog becomes acclimatized to your hands being over his muzzle and lifting its lip. Next, put a dab of toothpaste on your finger and let your dog smell and lick it. Then put more on its gums and teeth. Though it's improbable, if your dog isn't keen on it try something that you know it will like and continue rubbing it delicately on its teeth and gums. Later on once it's cushty, switch and use the dog toothpaste.
I really don't think they're going to enjoy mint-flavored toothpaste as much, though you can try! Poultry-flavor or beef seem to be the absolute best. Whenever you put a little toothpaste on its teeth and gums reward it with a treat, along with your regular oral love-talk! It'll learn that this novel experience is neither a threat nor painful. Do this for the next few days to get it used to the process.
With a little piece of the compress or dental pad, dab on a tiny bit of toothpaste and carefully rub your dog's gums and teeth. Slow, circular movements won't frighten your dog. Spend just a few seconds doing this to start with. Praise your dog and give it a treat. Do this for the next few days till you suspect your pet is ready for dog teeth cleaning.
Time for cleaning your dog's teeth: Fill up one side of the toothbrush with the dog's toothpaste. Get positioned nicely with your dog's head on your lap. With one hand hold his muzzle and with your finger softly lift his lip on one side. With a round about motion, carefully brush the teeth, going down as far as the gum line. As your dog licks off the dog toothpaste dab a little more on the brush and continue where you left off, making sure you get all the way along the side onto the back teeth.
Have a little break, give your treat and do the same on the other side. Don't hurry, be gentle and loving. Dogs are creatures of regular habit like us, and daily dog teeth cleaning would be an excellent thing. Handling this every day will be a pleasant habit to start. You will both be spending special time together and it's favourable and fun.
1 or 2 minutes of your time isn't very much when you think of what you'll save in vet charges and your dog's discomfort and discomfort. Please remember that this is an exciting time for you and your dog. Remember to reward it frequently! With only one or two days practice and a small amount of patience, your dog will cooperate and will even expect his teeth cleaning. Kissing your dog on his muzzle will be a treat for you too...no more dragon breath and a clean set of fine china!
