Over 80% of dogs & cats show signs of dental disease by age 3.
4 Reasons Why Toothbrushes for Dogs Don’t Work
Most pet parents know their dog’s dental health matters—but brushing their teeth often fails. Here’s why toothbrushes just don’t cut it (and what to do instead):
1. 🦠 Bacteria Build-Up on the Brush
Toothbrushes can harbor bacteria if not cleaned properly after every use.
❌ Those germs can transfer back into your pet’s mouth, leading to infections.
❌ Same brush, every day = bacteria breeding ground.
2. 🩸 Hard on Gums
Brushing too hard can irritate or cut gums, especially for pets with sensitive mouths.
❌ Bleeding, pain, and stress for your pet.
❌ Over time, damaged gums can lead to infections and tooth loss.
3. 😩 Most Dogs Hate It (And You Hate the Battle)
You know the drill—twisting, squirming, closed jaws.
❌ Brushing becomes a daily struggle (or you just give up).
❌ Stress for you and your dog every time.
4. 🦷 Hard to Reach All Teeth
Even when you manage to brush, you’re likely missing spots—especially the back teeth.
❌ Plaque builds up in hidden areas, leading to gum disease.
❌ Missed molars = future vet bills.
