Just like with humans, a pug’s dental health relates directly to their overall health. That’s what makes good dental hygiene so important (besides just keeping terrible breath at bay.) Unlike humans though, pugs can’t brush their own teeth regularly. Below we’ve compiled a list of 7 great products that clean your pug’s teeth.
The 7 Best Dental Products, Toys, Chews & Treats For Cleaning Your Pug’s Teeth
If you’ve recently taken a trip to your local pet store, you may have been overwhelmed at the number of products on the market for dog dental health—what to choose? The following doggie dental products are our picks to help get you started. As usual though, always consult your vet to make sure the products you choose are right for your dog’s dental needs.
#1 – Dental Water Additive For Pugs With Special Oral Probiotics, Clean Your Pug’s Teeth & Fresh Their Breath Without Them Even Knowing Every Time They Drink! ($14.99)
Looking for quite possibly the easiest and cheapest way to take care of your pug’s teeth? Consider adding an oral rinse for dogs to their water bowl. The minty scent from the rinse makes for a fresh breath and cleaner teeth, all without having to wrestle your pug with a toothbrush!
#2 – World Famous “Brushy Sticks” Dental Chews for Pugs (available in 2 sizes) ($15.99 – $24.99)
These tasty chews help keep plaque under control and freshen your pug’s breath at the same time. Also, every bag you buy from the iHeartDogs store will provide 7 meals for shelter dogs through GreaterGood Charities!
#3 – “Invisible” Finger Toothbrush For Pugs – Perfect for Pug’s Who Hate Brushing ($0.00 – Yes, it’s FREE)
For pugs that dislike getting their teeth brushed with a toothbrush, this clear, nearly invisible rubber finger toothbrush offers a more gentle, natural brushing experience.
