No, that is not recommended. Human toothpaste contains ingredients that could be harmful or toxic to dogs. But there are some good toothpastes made specifically for dogs; these are formulated for a dog's tastes, which will make brushing his/her teeth much easier for you, and for the dog. If the dog likes the flavor of the toothpaste, then you won't have to fight them to brush their teeth.

You can brush your dog's teeth like you would your own with a regular toothbrush. If you prefer, you can get a special doggie toothbrush from the pet store along with nice meaty-flavored toothpaste.

It is not recommended to use human type toothpaste for your dog. They make special toothpaste just for dogs, can get it through Pet Stores, Feed Stores or your regular Veterinarian. You can also get a toothbrush for dogs there too. Brush your dog's teeth once or twice a day.

No,You can brush your dog's teeth with dog tooth Paste. I think you can get it at Pet Co or a pet store or pets-mart. Same with the Tooth Brush.

Can you brush your cats teeth with regular toothpaste?

No, you should never use human toothpaste on a cat, as the fluoride alone is toxic and can make a cat ill if ingested. If you wish to brush your cat's teeth, use a pet toothpaste that has no fluoride in and is safe to ingest (I cat cannot spit out toothpaste like humans do).


Can you use baby toothpaste on dogs?

You should not use baby toothpaste on a dog. Many of them contain one or more chemicals that could be toxic to dogs. There are special toothpastes available at most pet stores and veterinarians specifically formulated for dogs. I use one called BreathaLyser using a soft toothbrush. If your pet does not react well to a toothbrush, try using your finger instead.
