Start by letting your pet become comfortable with you touching the lips and gums. Introduce a pet toothbrush or finger brush gradually, then use small circular movements along the outside of the teeth.
Only use toothpaste and oral-care products made for pets. Human toothpaste is not suitable. Keep sessions short, stay calm and reward your pet afterwards.
Tips: Begin with a few seconds, brush regularly and stop if your pet becomes very stressed. Dental chews and oral-care products can support the routine, but they do not replace veterinary dental checks.
