🪥 How to Brush (the easy way)
1. Start slow. Let your pet lick a little pet-safe toothpaste off the brush first, so they see it as a treat — not a chore.
2. Slip it on your finger. The 360° silicone head fits over your fingertip for full control and a gentle touch.
3. Brush in small circles. Focus on the gumline and the outer surfaces of the back teeth — where tartar builds up most.
4. Keep it short & sweet. 30–60 seconds is plenty. End with praise or a treat so the next time is even easier.
📅 How Often?
- Daily brushing = best results
- 3× a week = still great protection
- Same time each day builds the habit
Pro tips: Never use human toothpaste — it's toxic to pets. Pair brushing with a calm moment, like after a walk. Rinse the brush after each use and air-dry it in the travel case.
⚠️ Warning Signs — Call Your Vet
Persistent home care is powerful, but these can signal a bigger problem: very bad breath that won't improve, red or bleeding gums, brown/yellow tartar buildup, loose or broken teeth, or trouble eating / pawing at the mouth. When in doubt, a quick vet check is always worth it. 💛
