Veterinarian Dr Danielle Bernal’s Top Tips for a Good Puppy Dental Care Routine using Whimzees
- Get to know their teeth
Teach your new pup that it is ok for people to handle their mouth and muzzle. It’s not only key for you to be able to check their teeth, but also goes a long way to helping them tolerate future dental care and prevention. - Start to brush
When it comes to brushing, best results come from regular daily brushing. You can start with a finger brush or toothbrush but make sure you only use specially formulated dog toothpaste. To get them used to having your fingers and a brush in their mouth, try rubbing their gums and teeth as soon as you bring them home. - Chew on the right things
Giving your pup the right thing to chew on during this time is key. Something too hard could cause tooth fracture and something they find could be swallowed and cause an intestinal blockage. Feeding a dental chew that is specifically designed for a puppy will help not only keep them busy and alleviate teething discomfort, but also aid their dental health - Feed a Whimzees Puppy Dental Treat daily
