You should not use baking soda to brush your dog's teeth. Humans may use baking soda because we know not to swallow it, but dogs will inevitably swallow some amount of it and may swallow more than is safe.

You can make a paste of baking soda and water, but many dogs don't like the taste, and that can make tooth brushing an unpleasant experience. Also, baking soda has a high sodium content and it may cause a health problem for dogs, especially those with a heart condition.

If your dog is healthy, you can try brushing with baking soda to see if your dog objects to it. If it's a problem, there's always toothpaste specially formulated for dogs. These usually come in meat flavors.

Baking soda is very high in sodium, so it may not be good for a dog. Check in with your vet to see if your dog has dental problems..
