Brushing my dogs teeth can i use normal human toothpaste?
You shouldn%26#039;t. Dogs can%26#039;t rinse and spit when they brush their teeth, so they can%26#039;t use toothpastes for humans. They sometimes contain bleaches, irritants, and most notably fluoride, which is not good for the stomach. Find a good dog toothpaste that will be safe for your pet to swallow, and a dog toothbrush.

Reply:Ask a vet. I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s good, because they tell you not to swallow toothpaste. That%26#039;s fine for people, we don%26#039;t swallow (much of) it, but a dog wouldn%26#039;t know any better.
Reply:There are toothpastes made for dogs / cats in lot%26#039;s of flavor%26#039;s they like. Mint is NOT on their top ten list. Check you local pet store,or veterinary office the brand is C.E.T.. The difference between that (dentafrice) and people toothpaste is that you don%26#039;t have to scrub it with a brush, just get it smeared on their teeth, and it will activate, so you can use your finger which they don%26#039;t seem to mind as much.
Reply:human toothpaste foams up too much, and can cause pets to choke.
Reply:my vet says human toothpaste irritates dogs and cats.most vet offices or groomong places sell specialbeef or poultry flavor toothpaste.
Reply:Yes i do it all the time with my cat and i know because i went to the vet to see if u can because i wanted to know to and they said yes about the dogs and cats because i ask them for dogs to because i wanted to brush my cat%26#039;s and dog%26#039;s teeth.
Reply:No - dog toothpaste is formulated with enzymes that work on dogs. You don%26#039;t let little kids swallow toothpaste do you? How would you stop a dog?
Reply:It is NOT ok for someone to use people toothpaste on a dog! People know better not to swallow but dogs don%26#039;t, and there is flouride in people toothpaste and that is bad to swallow, human or canine! Go to the pet section of walmart i know they have something there and ur dog might not even like to have its teeth brushed!!
Reply:No. If you do not have dog toothpaste, use a mixture of baking soda and water instead.
