How to Brush Your Pet's Teeth
Be patient, start slowly, and use a lot of praise.
Handle your pet's mouth and lips.
One minute the first day, two minutes the second day and so on. After a few days, start to use a clean cloth to gently rub your pet's teeth and gums.
Flavor this cloth with something your pet likes, for example tuna juice for cats and consume for dogs.
Rub the outside surface of the teeth with the mouth closed. Do not worry about the tounge side. Praise your pet all the while.
After a few days, replace the cloth with a soft or very soft pediatric toothbrush or special pet toothbrush.
Brush gently back and forth, while praising your pet.
Over the next week, start to water down the flavoring until you are using plain water.
Finally, use a C.E.T. Pet Toothpaste on a regular basis (at least twice a week). Human toothpaste contains foaming agents, which will make your pet ill.
Please phone the clinic if you have any problems.
