bad breath parasites
What is the best way to brush your dogs teeth?
My husband and I have just one year old rat terrier two and four days ago we took him to an animal hospital to be checked for parasites and so on, we were told that his teeth were in bad need of brushing teeth and said that put them to sleep to do it, so it would cost 200.00 which we refused. So how do I brush his teeth, his breath is sooo bad that yesterday when he jumped on my lap I threw up my Rice Krispies so please any advice desperately needs. Or is there a concaution I can do to make your breath taste mint, because he will not eat dog biscuits to chew a bone or tooth.
If your teeth are so bad, it's best to let the vet clean. At that time, the tartar has accumulated and can not get you off just brushing. Also, if the breath is so bad, that probably has an infection occurs somewhere. The vet would do a clean and then start brushing to keep it. Trust me, $ 200 is worth it because you can save money on the long run, avoiding even bigger vet bills of rotten teeth out. If they are bad enough to be annoying, imagine how uncomfortable it must be. the Unhealthy teeth hurt and he really should receive adequate attention, which you can maintain with brushing.
