If you have ever tried to brush the teeth on your favorite dog or cat you know it isn’t easy. It is a necessary health treatment that every vet will remind you to do. A good way to start, and possibly prevent having to have your pet sedated and treated by the vet, is to rub their teeth with a flavor they like every day. For instance, for cats rub some tuna juice on their teeth. For dogs beef broth. Once they get used to you rubbing their teeth daily, you can switch to real pet toothpaste (which is usually flavored) and the transition will be easier.
