Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth – Whoopee!
Dental care in brushing your dog’s teeth will not be the most exciting health care effort you ever tried to give your dog, but boy is it ever exhilarating. Opening and 
looking in their mouth periodically will lessen the fear with consistency, especially when they are young, then when the time comes to start brushing their teeth the hassle will diminish gradually. This will also be helpful when and if you need to give them medication, then the fear will not be so great (that is if the medication is not horrible to their taste) when it is time to brush their teeth. Dogs do not like unwanted objects in their mouth, unless it is a nasty dirty old bone dug up from last year so this definitely will be a whole new experience, and I do mean experience for the pet child and their pet parent.
The care of dog teeth is now approaching, and when it is time to start this new adventure, there is a new and exciting dog toothbrush that has three flexible heads that maintain proper pressure for all surfaces of the dog’s teeth for thorough surface cleaning, and stimulate and massage your pets gum. Brushing your dog’s teeth on a regular basis is a major step in keeping your dog healthy, having good clean teeth, and avoiding offensive doggy breath will save future problems with their teeth and 
avoid high dental costs, but DO NOT use human toothpaste, there is doggy tooth paste on the market. Once they have lost their baby teeth and you have practiced with the pet child’s mouth and teeth, (if your dog was young) start deciding where and how often to begin this ritual in preparing a well-learned and satisfying togetherness. Learning how to brush your dog’s teeth, and them accepting what you are doing will take patience, persistence, and determination, but once all has been accomplished, you the pet parent can sit back and say to yourself, “job well done”, but just a word of caution, grown dogs will generally not take to this procedure very well, so be careful. Be Happy!
Update on the Reconstruction of My Website
The reconstruction of my website has taken longer to complete than I previously thought. Again, I hope to have everything available before the end of the month. Every time one portion of the reconstruction is completed, another problem arises, that is how we learn and understand that there are faster and better ways in finalizing completion, to include additional products as they become available. Lots of detail involved like anything else when adding products to the Internet. KEEP A LOOK OUT of what’s coming! It shouldn’t be too much longer before you will be able to purchase directly from my website. There will continue to be available products that will refer you to your specific interest.
One of the new items is a shedding tool to remove your dog’s old hair so the new hair will look shiny and healthy. This awesome tool pulls the old hair from underneath which is hard to get with the regular combs used in brushing. Several styles of pet booster seats will be available, with one that folds and slides into the dog’s suitcase along with a bed. Really is a neat and convenient item. Tick collars will be available in keeping those nasty things from biting your dog and embedding themselves into their skin. Styles that are different from the ordinary dog crate, is a wicker dog crate that will conform to any home décor. A spray and gel product that will remove plaque and tarter on your dog’s teeth is effective for their dental care. One of the new dog ramps also offers a carrying bag to transport the dog’s car ramp. If not in use, it may be stored under your bed, or closet. Last, but not least is a ‘handi’ portable dog water dish that can be used to keep your dog hydrated on their long walks or rides in the car. Be Happy!
Care for Your Dog’s Teeth is Important
Dogs love to spend time with their pet parents and once trained, are happy when they obey their commands, and love to be groomed and pampered, but what about brushing their teeth? I posted an article just recently on brushing your dog’s teeth, but this time I would like to bring out points that may help in accomplishing this chore, and I do mean chore. It may be difficult at first, but once your dog gets use to 
the idea, they will look forward to having this done. Actually, this enhances your friendship with each other. Senior pet care products offer dental care for your dog, and is just as important to them as it is for you. Dogs teeth are important to chew on bones, eat their food, and defend themselves if a dangerous situation should arise. Dogs will protect their pet parents as well, if in danger. Have your veterinarian check your dogs teeth periodically for possible on set of gum disease. Toothbrushes and toothpastes are available specifically for dogs and the toothbrushes have softer bristles that are easier for their teeth and gums. There are finger toothbrushes as well. People’s toothpaste is not for dogs, the paste will probably upset their stomach. The toothpaste for dogs has flavors of chicken and beef and is an enticement. There are also ingredients that help control tartar and plaque on their teeth.
One of the challenges of introducing regular care of dog’s teeth is their natural fear of the unfamiliar. Start by placing a small bit of pet toothpaste on the tip of your finger and let them lick it off your finger. They will discover that they are enjoying the taste. Give them lots of praise to develop a positive connection. Your dog will fear this procedure at first because this is foreign to them and must learn that there is no harm in what their pet parent is trying to do. This should be done several times so when you actually put the toothpaste on the dog’s brush they will associate the taste that they have already experienced. Rub the toothpaste on your finger and rub their teeth and gums so they will get the feel of something different in their mouths. Let them lick the paste on the toothbrush and at the same time, they will feel the soft bristles of the brush. Give them lots of praise and let me know that you are pleased with them. Only the outside teeth are the most important if you cannot get to the backside. This will take several sessions especially if your dog is older and even though they 
love to give kisses to their pet parents, some dog’s do not like their mouths touched. If this is a problem with your dog, you may change your mind in providing dental care. An oral care spray and gel with an all-natural formula helps to eliminate plaque and tartar. If you decide that brushing is not going to work for you and your dog, at least you can do something for the care of your dog’s teeth. However, do not give up because like everything else, practice makes perfect. Be Happy!
