How To Clean Dog’s Teeth: Dog Dental Care At Home

Did you know that February is National Pet Dental Health Month?! It wasn’t until last year that I started doing more research on dog dental care. I had no idea how to clean my dog’s teeth, how to help with dog’s bad breath or what the best way to clean my dog’s teeth was.

In this post I’ll be answering common questions like:

Why does my dogs breath stink?
How to clean dogs teeth without brushing?
How to remove plaque and tartar from dog teeth?
How to keep your dogs teeth clean?

Plus, I’ll be sharing my favorite dog dental care products from ProDen PlaqueOff®, how they’ve improved my dog’s dental health, and why I love their natural dog breath freshener over others!

Why Does My Dogs Breath Stink?

Before we get into my favorite dog dental care products, I’m sure you’ve wondered, why does my dogs breath stink or asked someone why does my dogs breath smell so bad?

There can be many reasons why your dog has bad breath, but below are some of the most common reasons:

Plaque & Tartar Buildup On Dog Teeth

Just like us, our dogs can also have plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth which can not only result in bad breath but also more serious infections and potential tooth loss if not treated and prevented.

If you’re wondering how to remove plaque and tartar from dog teeth, I’ll be sharing my go-to dog dental care products below:

Periodontal Disease In Dogs

Periodontal disease in dogs is caused by a large buildup of plaque, tartar and bacteria on your dogs teeth and gums. When this happens, the tissue that supports the tooth becomes inflamed which causes the gums and bones to recede and degrade.

Chewy.com actually has a very helpful article about Periodontal disease in dogs and cats, which is where my information above is from, in addition to other articles from AKC. This article specifically goes into detail on the different stages of periodontal disease in dogs, the symptoms of periodontal disease, treatment and prevention. I highly recommend reading through it for more information!

How To Clean Dog’s Teeth

Now let’s talk about how to clean your dogs teeth and how to keep your dogs teeth clean. Being a busy dog mom and equestrian, I wanted to know how to clean my dogs teeth without brushing, which led me to two awesome solutions from ProDen PlaqueOff®!

Not only was I looking to find out how to clean my dogs teeth without brushing, but I was also wanting to know how to clean my dogs teeth naturally. Both of the products below feature an all natural ingredient and no chemicals.

ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder

I have been using the ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder for over a month now and have seen a huge difference on my dog’s teeth. They’re whiter, cleaner and they’ve stayed that way! The ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder is applied to your dogs food daily, making it extremely easy to use. Plus, this natural dog breath freshener has made my dog’s kisses much more enjoyable. I just can’t say no to their love!

P.S. I actually did a full review of the ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder that goes into more detail about the natural ingredients, how much you need for your dog and so much more!

ProDen PlaqueOff System™ Dental Care Bones and Crunchy Dental Bites

Another one of the best ways to clean your dogs teeth is with ProDen PlaqueOff System™ Dental Care Bones and Crunchy Dental Bites! These dental treats for dogs are also great for cleaning your dogs teeth without brushing.

The ProDen PlaqueOff System™ Dental Care Bones feature different ridges and textures, that not only act as a breath freshener for dogs, but they can also help remove plaque and tartar from your dogs teeth.

The ProDen PlaqueOff System™ Crunchy Dental Bites remind me of little dog breath mints because of their size! Featuring a tasty chicken flavor, these are great to use as training treats or to sprinkle on top of your dogs food!

If you’re wondering what to give your dogs for bad breath, I highly recommend both of these products! Plus, I did a full review of these dental treats for dogs including more information about flavors, recipes that you can add them too and more!

How To Keep Your Dogs Teeth Clean

The best way to keep your dogs teeth clean is consistency. With the ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder, the instructions say to add it to your dog’s food for the best results. Keeping an eye on your dogs teeth, making sure that they’re staying clean is the best way to prevent periodontal disease in dogs and to get rid of bad breath in dogs.

I hope this information on dog dental care was very helpful! Dog dental care extends so much further than knowing how to help dogs with bad breath. It’s removing plaque and tartar from dog teeth and keeping their teeth and gums healthy so that they can enjoy their favorite treats, eat their favorite foods and live a happy and healthy life!
