Effective Ways Of Keeping The Dental Health Of Blue Pitbull Puppies In Top Shape

By Ronald Williams


The oral condition of your dog can affect its overall health just like with human beings. However, the oral health of your puppy can deteriorate either because he cannot tolerate teeth brushing or you are not patient when cleaning his teeth. It is important to extensively understand the various dental care demands before buying a puppy. Failure to keep the teeth of your puppy clean will subject him to severe dental problems such as gum disease and deny him a pearly white smile. Below are indisputable methods you can use to keep the teeth of your Blue Pitbull Puppies clean.

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.

Buy your puppy raw bones to chew three to four times weekly. Chewing hard raw bones strengthens the teeth roots of your dog and the broken pieces usually remove the soft plaque before it hardens. Some people prefer buying these bones from a butcher while others look for pet stores near them. The advantage of buying raw bones from a pet store is that you can choose those that match the age and size of your 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.

The above oral care tips help you maintain the gums, teeth, tongue and other oral tissues of your dog healthy. They also mitigate other general health problems, which could increase the medical bills of your puppy. These oral care techniques are effective and applicable to pets as young as three months old.
