The direct answer is yes, however I would recommend using a caninie toothpaste. Not only is the toothpaste flavored to be appealing to the animal so it will be easier to keep the dog compliant during brushing, but that baking soda is a chemical called sodium bicarbonate which can be harmful to the body's electrolyte and acid/base balance if taken in sufficient amount, and for a dog the amount necessary to cause harm may be dependent on several factors, ie breed, size, age, muscle mass, etc. In short, I would recommend the paste made for dogs. Baking soda is only used in brushing to increase the abrasiveness of the toothbrush to remove plaque, but brushing with too much soda or brushing too hard can remove enamel as well over time. Feeding your dog dry food and brushing without baking soda should be more than sufficient.
