Brushing your dog's teeth - useful or excessive?

Zähneputzen beim Hund - sinnvoll oder übertrieben?

Brushing your dog’s teeth: Important or excessive?

Do you brush your dog's teeth regularly, or is that too much for you? The good news: Veterinary dentists recommend regular tooth brushing. Many owners underestimate oral health. But even harmless plaque can develop into serious problems that burden the entire organism.

For many, dogs are a full member of the family. However, there are uncertainties when it comes to dental care. However, the accusation of humanization is misplaced here.

Brushing your dog’s teeth is useful

Because of the large spaces between their teeth, dogs' self-cleaning ability is better than that of humans. However, dogs' teeth are also exposed to bacteria daily. Deposits can lead to health problems.

It's a mistake to believe that natural abrasion through chewing is sufficient. Diet, in particular, influences dental health. According to the German Dental Society, around 80% of all dogs and cats suffer from oral diseases.

Dental care for dogs is not excessive

Many products make dental care easier. Our emmi®-pet ultrasonic toothbrush is particularly suitable. It was developed specifically for dogs. Toothpaste and toothbrushes for humans, on the other hand, are unsuitable and sometimes even harmful. Ingredients like xylitol can cause poisoning in dogs.

Human toothbrushes are usually too large and too hard for sensitive dog mouths. The taste of human toothpaste is also unsuitable for dogs.
