Teeth




         Brushing your puppy’s teeth between the ages of eight and sixteen
         weeks is critical. Puppies start losing their “baby” teeth between

         four and six months of age. The new, permanent, adult teeth will
         push out the “baby” teeth. When your puppy begins to lose their

         teeth, they may have a foul breath & you may notice blood on any
         hard items they chew on. You can purchase finger toothbrushes &

         toothpaste formulated for dogs. It’s flavoured so dogs love the
         taste. Start with a little dab of toothpaste on your finger and let

         your puppy taste it. Then slip your finger under their upper lip and
         rub the toothpaste on its teeth. When you are finished, let your

         puppy have a food treat.


         Using 1 tablespoon of pink Himalayan Sea salt and baking soda,

         mix it together with toothpaste.
         I recommend you brush your dog with this mixture, it is highly

         beneficial in preventing plaque build-up based on personal
         experience
