How to Brush a Dog’s Teeth
To brush your dog’s teeth, you’ll need to get them used to the process of putting a brush in their mouth. Start by teaching your dog to allow you to run your finger over their teeth and giving them a treat and praise if they let you.
Then, use your finger to apply canine toothpaste to their teeth. Treat and praise them if they allow it. Finally, use a dog toothbrush to apply the toothpaste to your dog’s teeth.
While this process seems pretty simple, many dogs hate having their mouths handled in any way and detest the sensation of having their teeth brushed. Others may not like the taste of the paste.
How To Clean a Dog’s Teeth Without Brushing?
Brushing can be a hassle and does require some training before you can do it regularly with your dog. If you don’t want to brush your dog’s teeth or your dog simply won’t let you, you can try using dental treats and canine toothpaste instead.
That’s why Bark created Bark Bright, a box containing both grooved dental treats and toothpaste for your dog based on their size.
The chewy treats act as a brush when your dog bites down on them, and the toothpaste cleans your dog’s teeth using enzymes. This way, you can skip the brushing that your dog probably hates and give them some tasty treats instead to achieve the same results.

Why Is Dog Dental Care So Important?
You probably brush your teeth regularly to keep them fresh and clean, but did you know that your dog’s teeth should also be brushed every day?
That’s because, without regular cleaning, your dog could develop painful gingivitis and periodontal disease that can negatively impact their health. These dental problems can lead to severe pain while eating, gum infections, and tooth loss.
Without treatment, infections in the mouth can even spread through your dog’s bloodstream to their heart, liver, and kidneys, seriously damaging these organs.
When Does Your Dog Need Professional Dental Cleaning?
If your dog’s breath is smelling a bit worse than usual, it could mean that they have an active infection in their mouth.
That’s why veterinarians recommend regular cleanings for your dog to prevent plaque, tartar, and bacteria from causing everything from cavities to gingivitis and periodontal disease.
These cleanings are performed under anesthesia to thoroughly remove tartar from below the gumline. In between cleanings, you’ll still need to brush your dog’s teeth to keep them as clean as possible, ensuring your dog’s mouth stays healthy.
