We all know how expensive dog dental care can be but did you know that you can save a ton of money on your dogs dental needs by taking a few preventive measures on a regular basis.

Small breed dogs are more susceptible to dog dental care issues than the larger breed dogs. This is because small breed dogs typically eat

more soft or canned dog foods than their larger counterparts.

We all know that brushing our dogs teeth is the best way to keep their teeth healthy but I have yet to meet a dog that would willingly let their owner brush their teeth. if your dog won’t open wide for a toothbrush, don’t fret. Their are other options that are much simpler and will make both your and your dog much happier!

Be it a small breed dog or a large breed dog, their are many simple things that you can do to prevent dog dental care issues. one of the easiest is to feed your dog healthy treats such as peeled and cubed apples or baby carrots. Not only are these healthy dog treats, they are both a tremendous help in fighting plaque and other dog dental care issues.

Another great way to clean your dogs teeth is with a product by Orajel. Orajel Tooth and Gum Cleaner is made for babies but it can be used on dogs. The thing that you really want from the Orajel Tooth and Gum Cleaner is the little cleaning brush that goes over the tip of your

finger. This small cleaning brush has little ridges that clean and massage your dogs gums and this helps with the circulation in the gum area. If you can find one of these sold separately, you can use it with a bit of plain baking soda to clean your dogs teeth and gums. It is always a good idea to try this at a time that both you and your dog are relaxed.

When it comes to treating and preventing dog dental care issues, it is important to know when a problem is serious enough for a trip to the veterinarian. A tooth infection can quickly lead to more serious health problems if not treated

properly. If you notice that your dog is running a fever or not eating well, it is best to seek the help of your veterinarian to treat your dogs dental care issues promptly.

Dog toys are actually very important to the health and safety of your furniture. This is because they provide excellent distraction and chewing surfaces for your dog. By chewing on dog toys, it will help their gum and teeth to remain healthy.

When you go to a local pet store, you may find that there are tons of different dog toys available in the market. Some are expensive but many times, you can find inexpensive dog toys too. Such as rawhide bones, ropes, chew toys, plush dog toys and balls for under 10 dollars.

And on Sundays, you can go outside and play a game of frisbee with them.  They are like small children, and when you play with them they know that you care and appreciate them.
