What Is the Best Flavor of Dog Teeth Cleaning Gel?

The leading manufacturers of dog teeth cleaning products today basically offer two flavors of teeth gel. The basic option is a simple peppermint flavor. Although this may seem odd for using in a dog related product, few canines resist it. The second most common flavor found in dog toothpaste is salmon. This may seem more suitable for a cat product, but dogs seem to really enjoy the taste.

From experience, we know that some dogs simply resist the process of using any type of cleaning paste with them. Many pet owners therefore attribute this resistance to the fact that the dog perhaps does not like the flavor of the canine teeth cleaning gel. In almost all situations the problem is with the dog resisting the cleaning process in itself.

One of the biggest mistakes that pet owners make when trying to clean tartar and plaque from dog teeth is that they rush the process in the beginning and create a negative and stressful situation for their pet. It is very important in the beginning that the process is taken very slowly and gradually and therefore easing the dog into the idea of allowing his or her teeth to be cleaned. It depends on the type of dog and his or her personality, that this process could take several days to even several weeks of slowly getting him or her used to the idea of placing either your finger or a tooth brush in their mouth.

If the first few times in attempting this procedure is very stressful for the dog, pet owners may never get a second chance as the dog will remember the poor experience forever and always become frightful and stressed at the site of the dog toothpaste and/or brush. Pet owners should begin the process by simply having the brush and bottle of toothpaste near the dog will petting and playing with him. This way, there is nothing that pleasure and fun associated whatever the teeth cleaning products are nearby. Continuing on, the pet owner can then begin touching and rubbing on the pets teeth while simultaneously petting or rubbing his ears and having the teeth cleaning products nearby.

As this process continues for a number of days the pet owner can then open the bottle of cleaning gel and allow the pet to sniff the contents while still being petted and praised. Since most dogs enjoy the flavor of the products, it's been okay for the owner to dip a finger into the gel and allow the animal to smell and even taste the product. Unlike with human toothpaste, there is no need to worry about the dog swallowing any of the product. This will be a natural process during regular cleanings and there is no need for concern.

And again here, depending on the dog's personality, one can continue the process of placing a small amount of dog teeth cleaning gel onto the brush and playing with the dog what touching the dogs mouth and teeth. If in doubt as to how fast to continue this process always proceed on the cautious side and take it very slowly. In almost 100% of the cases, if pet owners will follow this process and slowly expose their pet to the process of dog teeth cleaning using special canine toothpaste and brush, they will be able to proceed eventually and do a proper and regular cleaning of the dog's teeth.
