Brushing a puppy's teeth.....?

how often are you supposed to brush a puppy teeth...

Brushing a puppy%26#039;s teeth.....?
Good for you to begin brushing the teeth so early! It is best to do it at least 3 times a week. You can do it daily if you like. Use a pediatric toothbrush and veterinary toothpaste (no fluoride). Lift the puppy%26#039;s lip and brush just the outside surfaces of the teeth starting at the gum line and sweeping away toward the tip of the tooth.





Your puppy will learn that this is part of his grooming routine just like nail trims and will make it a lot more manageable when he grows up. Brushing the teeth help keep the teeth in good shape, decreasing periodontal disease, and increasing the time between dental cleanings.
Reply:Puppy teeth don%26#039;t have to be brushed since they will fall out, but take the opportunity to get him used to it, as daily brushing would be best once the adult teeth come in. Use a soft childrens toothbrush and special dog toothpaste.
Reply:it isn%26#039;t necessary. they make toys treats and even food that do this for you. my grandma used to brush her sheltie%26#039;s teeth and i always found it stupid.
Reply:I brush my dogs once a month and give her bones to clean them.
Reply:Well it depends what kind of dog.Also like there teeth fall out then they grow adult teeth.My staffy has white teeth and he chews nylabones and keeps them white while my frenchbulldog he trys to chew them but we have to brush his teeth.It all depends upon breed
