Dog Dental Care

Dog dental care is important because, left unchecked, poor dental health can impact your dog’s overall health and wellbeing. For example, if your pet is experiencing dental discomfort, it may affect their appetite, or you may notice them dropping food or only chewing on one side.

In short, regular dental care keeps your dog healthy and happy!

If your dog has plaque build-up, we recommend a trip to the vet to have their teeth cleaned. Once clean, YuMOVE Daily Clean products can help to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

If your dog isn’t used to having their teeth cleaned, little and often is the way to go, and helps get your dog used to brushing. There are plenty of tools to help make brushing easier, like toys or finger toothbrushes with silicone bristles. A soft human toothbrush works too! Use gentle circular motions, and don’t forget those hard-to-reach gnasher at the back! Always use dog toothpaste – human toothpaste often contains xylitol, which is dangerous for dogs, plus dogs don’t like the taste of mint.

If you struggle to clean your dog’s teeth (don’t worry, lots of people do), please speak to your vet.

Ideally, you should brush your dog’s teeth every day, just like your own. However, if that’s not possible, aim for at least three times a week.

No. Regular brushing is still the best way to keep your dog’s teeth clean, and you should aim to do this at least three times a week. We know it can be tricky, though – some dogs don’t like brushing, while others see it as a game! Our Daily Clean products help support and maintain your dog’s dental hygiene once their teeth have been cleaned, whether by you or a professional.
