80% of all dogs over 3 years have dental problems
80% of all dogs over the age of three are affected by plaque, tartar, and gum disease. To prevent these problems in your pet, there are now various types and shapes of dog toothbrushes available.
In this blog post, you'll learn which one is best for your dog and what you should consider when buying a dog toothbrush. Together with our veterinarian, we've summarized the most important points to consider when buying.
Tip 1: These types of dog toothbrushes are available
Dog toothbrushes are now available in a variety of shapes. Consider which shape of dog toothbrush is suitable for your dog. This depends, among other things, on the size of your dog's muzzle (depending on the breed) and whether he is (still) a puppy.
In addition to the classic single-brush design (which we all know from brushing our own teeth), there is now a more effective 3-head toothbrush for dogs that cleans all 3 sides of the teeth in one pass, thus significantly shortening the brushing process.
In addition to the classic dog toothbrush, there are also finger brushes made of soft silicone that can be used multiple times, as well as hygienic disposable finger pads . Electric toothbrushes for dogs are also new, although these are quite expensive. It's recommended that your dog is already well accustomed to brushing before investing in one.
The material of the dog toothbrush, e.g. plastic or silicone, should be harmless, tested for harmful substances and BPA-free.
Tip 2: How the brush heads of dog toothbrushes differ
To reduce the risk of injury, the bristles of a dog toothbrush should be as soft as possible. Silicone finger brushes with rubber nubs can also be used as an alternative to dog toothbrushes and are great for getting your dog used to brushing and massaging the gums during teething.
The soft bristles of the Canosept 3-head toothbrush allow you to achieve a complete cleaning of your teeth in one step. With one single movement, you can reach the front and back of your teeth, as well as the chewing surface, reducing brushing time and making even the most difficult areas easily accessible.
Tip 3: How to use the dog toothbrush
To help your dog get used to brushing their teeth, dog toothbrushes should be as easy to use as possible and fit comfortably in the hand.
To make it easier to guide the dog toothbrush in the mouth area, an ergonomically shaped handle should be non-slip, even when the fingers are wet.
Finger brushes offer a particularly good sense of the mouth. Simply pull them over your finger and you can begin dental care right away. This is ideal for both you and your dog.
Tip 4: The right accessories for your dog’s toothbrush
The right dog toothbrush also needs a suitable dog toothpaste. Dental gels for dogs should always be fluoride- and xylitol-free, as well as sugar-free. These are available in various flavors, from mild mint to liverwurst.
Since bad breath is often one of the reasons for brushing teeth, you have to consider whether the "liverwurst smell" is what you're looking for or whether you'd rather go for mild mint, which even dogs enjoy licking. This will increase the enthusiasm for brushing, both for you and your dog.
For fresh breath and supporting dental cleaning, you can also use special dental sprays . These are very easy to use and immediately freshen your dog's mouth.
In addition to regular toothbrushing, dental chew sticks can be a fun way to encourage your dog to brush their teeth. Regular chewing promotes saliva flow and your dog's well-being.
