Learn / Daily Routine

Daily brushing starts small.

Introduce oral care in a way your pet can accept: taste first, gentle touch next, then short brushing sessions.

Routine matters most when it can fit into normal home life.

Day 7+: Repeat

Keep sessions predictable and stop before stress builds.

How to choose a toothbrush

Small mouths often need compact brush heads. Larger dogs may benefit from longer handles. Finger toothbrushes can help beginners feel more controlled.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not rush the first session, use human toothpaste, or force a long brushing session. Keep the routine short and consistent.
