HOW TO BRUSH YOUR DOG'S TEETH

1. Start off by getting your dog accustomed to the idea of having his teeth brushed. This can be done by gently massaging the gums with your                fingers.

2. Put a small amount of pet toothpaste on the dog’s lips to get him used to the taste.

3. When your dog is comfortable with the touching of gums and taste of the toothpaste, you’re ready to brush. Apply toothpaste directly to the dog’s      teeth and gently brush with toothbrush or gauze wrapped around your finger.
