Yup - they sell special toothpaste/brushes kits in pet stores (or yo can get it from your vet - but it will be like 5x the price)

Teeth brushing will not only freshen their breath now, but prevent mouth problems in the future

brush! It is really important for the proper function of other organs that their mouths are clean and disease free. If your dog does not take well to the brush at first, you can ease them into it by massaging their face, right near the mouth area. Do this a few times a day and then work the brush into the routine.

Do you feed her wet food, or dry? My vet said wet food tends to be associated with bad breath, but the OP are right, brushing your dogs teeth will help!Chat Icon

I would wait til her baby teeth fall out. You can start now like once a week but very lightly just to get her used to it but her gums are probably sore from teething so u don't want to make it more uncomfortabe for her.
