Dental care for dogs – with practical products in the Pawsome Shop

Our four-legged friends' teeth need regular care just like ours. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to brush the teeth of a dog with healthy gums and teeth. Rather, you can integrate dental hygiene into your everyday life - with the right chewing items , the right food, chewing toys and - if necessary - a practical dental fingerling.

Teeth cleaning is particularly natural and effective if your dog eats fresh, uncooked bones allowed to gnaw. Chewing removes dirt and plaque and ensures clean teeth. In addition, the chewing muscles are strengthened. The dog produces more saliva - this also helps clean the teeth .

The alternative to bones

But it's not just fresh bones that are suitable for cleaning dog's teeth: dried, natural chewing items such as Mock ears or bovine scalp your pet cleans his teeth in a humane manner and strengthens his jaw. Chewing also helps calm you down.

In addition to chewing products, there are also Dog toys that are suitable for cleaning dog teeth. Our dental toy made of natural rubber is free of harmful substances, extra robust and the holey structure means your four-legged friend's teeth are cleaned particularly intensively. At the same time, the gums are massaged. You can also hide treats in the dental toy, which makes chewing fun a particularly popular game for your four-legged friend and also keeps him mentally busy.

If your dog already suffers from contamination or tartar, we recommend gently and regularly cleaning the teeth with the Tooth finger cot from LILA LOVES IT . You can simply put it over your finger and clean your four-legged friend's teeth in a particularly easy way. The gentle pressure removes plaque and dirt.
