How To Improve The Dental Health Of Blue Pitbull Puppies

By Ronald Williams


The dental state of your puppy can determine the condition of his overall health. If your puppy does not tolerate teeth brushing, you should look for other friendlier and effective alternatives to ensure his oral health does not deteriorate. Dental care demands for pets are diverse, and you should understand them well before you purchase any of the Blue Pitbull Puppies. If you want to maintain fresh breath, prevent gum disease and keep that pearly white smile of your puppy, read the oral care tips below.

Use of water additives is perhaps the simplest technique that will effectively improve the oral hygiene of your dog. Water additives are odorless and tasteless liquids, which contain particular enzymes that effectively keep the breath of your dog fresh, eliminate bacteria and break down plaque. They contain natural ingredients such as vegetable glycerin, zinc, colorless beet juice, Vitamin B among others. However, the American Canine Association (ACA) affirms that water additives do not substitute other dental exams.

Ensure your puppy chews raw bones at least three times in a week. Bone chewing makes the teeth of your puppy firmer and the broken pieces scrape off the build up plaque. Although you may opt to purchase lamb shanks and necks from a nearby butchery of grocery, it is advisable to purchase them from a pet store where bones are sold depending on the size and age the puppy.

Dental toys have also proved to be effective in cleaning the teeth of dogs that are not brushed regularly. These toys do not just switch your puppy into a playful mood, but they also remove plaque and fresh food particles that stick between the teeth when chewing them. Some of the materials that make the dental toys include nylon rawhide and rubber among others.

Tartar control treats are also effective in removing plaque that build up along the gum line of your puppy. Normally, the puppys saliva contain salts that combine with the soft plaque to form a hard tartar. Failure to remove the tartar in good time weakens the enamel that protects puppys roots against tooth sensitivity and other oral issues. These treats help remove the plaque before it hardens to become tartar.

Dental foams also improve the oral hygiene of your dog and maintain his breath fresh always. Foam products have deodorizing and antibacterial properties that fight plaque buildup, and they contain powerful ingredients such as baking soda that remove teeth discoloration. To administer the foam, pull back the lips of the puppy and spray it gently onto his gum and teeth.

Changing the diet of your dog could also help maintain his teeth and gum clean and healthy. Dog-safe foods such as vegetables, fresh fruits and herbs such as cucumber, apples, celery, carrots, parsley and coconut oil among others stimulate gums and keep the teeth clean. According to the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC), the lauric acid contained in the coconut oil has anti-microbial properties that fight bad breath and eliminate bacteria that cause gum disease.

With the dental care tips above, it is possible to keep the tongue, teeth, gums and other mouth tissues of your puppy clean and healthy. You will eliminate risk factors that cause oral problems of your dog to aggravate and attract increased medical bills. These dental care tips are effective even to a three-month-old puppy.
