Veterinarians recommend that dogs receive daily oral hygiene care to help fight the effects of plaque and bacterial buildup that may cause teeth and gum disease. PETCO Natural Toothpaste cleans teeth without the use of harmful detergents and the natural ingredients require no rinsing. These products may be used as part of a daily dental hygiene program to maintain healthy teeth and fight bad breath. Don't forget to pick up a PETCO Dog Toothbrush or PETCO Pet Finger Toothbrush, sold separately.
Keep this product out of the reach of children and pets to avoid unintended consumption.Directions: Train your pet for teeth cleaning by gently stroking the outside of its cheeks with your fingers. This will allow your pet to become comfortable with having your hands near its mouth.
To introduce brushing to your dog place a small amount of toothpaste on the tip of your finger and allow dog to lick it off. Next, apply a small amount of toothpaste to a dog toothbrush. Gently expose your dog's teeth and gums and brush teeth. Praise your dog as you brush. For hard to reach or sensitive areas, apply a small amount of toothpaste on a finger toothbrush and gently brush. Only use toothbrush designed specifically for dog's teeth and gums- human toothbrushes are too harsh for dog's teeth.
