Doggy Dental Care 101

Okay, so I must confess, when we brought the puppy home, I had a bristle brush for his coat, I had a gate to keep him safe, I had a crate to make him his own space.
It wasn't until after the doggy kisses were kind of brutal and nasty smelling that I got a clue that I hadn't planned for everything. The poor little puppy was going to need his teeth brushed and I wasn't sure how to do that.
After an online search I recognized what I needed and picked up a fingertip toothbrush and some beef toothpaste. Yum, yum.
Oh, and don't ever use people toothpaste on the dog's teeth. Apparently there are some ingredients that can be harmful if swallowed and dogs just can't be taught to spit on command.
