Brush.
Otherwise the plaque will lead to gum disease. Just get a baby toothbrush and dog toothpaste or baby toothpaste. Easier if you get the dog used to it when he's still a puppy. You can ease the introduction by using a brush that fits onto a finger like a thimble.

No. She will squirm and such and try and keep her muzzle firmly shut and then she will lick the toothpaste greedily if I manage to get the brush inside.

haiyoh, if you can teach your wow wow to gargle and spit out, I salute you.
No need lah. Doggie will just lick and swallow everything. That's why you can't use human toothpaste, although word has it baby toothpaste is mild enough (since they too lick and swallow).

Hahaha...you r rite. Dun think he will spit it out but was thinking of using the water to just wash it off IF possible mar...But since wow wow eat got no problem with the tummy, then OK lar...makes life easier. Cannot imagine what will happen tho coz my wow wow when trying to clean ear & the eyes also squirm here and there trying to wrestle with me, I think brush teeth will be even worse.

You have to get the wow wow used to it, slowly. Might be easier to use the thimble/finger glove thingy first. No need to pry open the jaws at first. Just lift up the flaps by the side and brush the exposed teeth. Then slowly get wow wow to let you brush inside. Easier if start from young lah.

Got the timble like brush meh? Where you get one? I was thinking of getting the baby tooth brush. If can get something like what you recommend I think will be better. Easier to manage.
Also, my puppy is a golden. Tho he is still young (5 months +) but he is still a very big & strong puppy. He will also show me the face and struggle. So, have to hold him real tight at times and day NO firmly so that he will stay calm and lie quietly. Sometimes OK, sometimes, not really. Maybe, later as he grows use to it ( I have been doing it for like 3 months?) then will not be soo...susah lor...

its wat they called a dog's toothbrush, it looks something like toothbrush head but the body will be hollow, usually made out of plastic or rubber, u will need to stick ur index finger to complete the toothbrush look
try making the toothbrushing procedures a fun thing to do with ur gr, he'l then expect to do it more often

Hey all dog Owners
Today bring my Silkies for polishing their teeth. Vet recommended me a new product that required us to rub the gel on to the teeth daily. No need brushing. This product will help soften the tartar when the dog eat the dog food kibble the tartar will drop off, at the sametime help prevent tartar buildup. 1 tube 70g cost RM35. Each application required 1cm gel for 10KG dog weight. I got this product from Brickfield Vet Clinic.
Hope this is good news to all dog owners out there
