Dental cleanings should be as routine for your dog as they are for yourself. In fact, you should ideally be brushing your dog’s teeth at least once per day to prevent tartar and plaque buildup. One way to help keep your dog’s teeth clean is brushing them with a vet approved toothbrush and toothpaste or using a home mixture of baking soda and water and gently wiping at your dog’s teeth with your finger, with a piece of gauze, or with a thumb brush for dogs that can be found in pet stores. If you’re not sure about cleaning your dog’s teeth then you may want to set up an cleaning with your veterinarian. Full cleanings can be done every six months to every 12 months or a year. Your canine will be put under for this so that the dentist can do a full cleaning and scraping of plaque and tartar. Consult to your vets Aurora, CO about making an appointment.
