Despite how much your dog loves you, there are very few animals who respond well to having foreign objects jammed into their mouths. Luckily, Arm and Hammer&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/reviews\/the-best-dog-tooth-brushing-kit\/\">dental care kit<\/a> is here to make the process as simple, efficient, and brief as possible. Firstly, the company offers two different kinds of toothbrushes in this kit \u2014 the long brush and the finger brush. Long brushes allow you to keep a distance between your hand and your dog&#8217;s teeth as you brush, while finger brushes put you right into the middle of the action. Most dogs will have a preference for one, making Arm and Hammer&#8217;s inclusion of both very helpful. Not to mention, the toothpaste included in this kit features a tartar control agent, which is the number one cause of canine halitosis.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Offers two kinds of toothbrushes<\/li>\n<li>The finger brush offers your whole fingertip protection against biting<\/li>\n<li>Anti-tartar toothpaste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You might not find the scent of beef-flavored toothpaste too pleasant while you brush your pooch&#8217;s teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Kit<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nylabone-Advanced-Oral-Natural-Dental\/dp\/B006YFYEBQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nylabone-Advanced-Oral-Natural-Dental\/dp\/B006YFYEBQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Kit' alt='Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Kit' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51IXWXdqhRL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nylabone-Advanced-Oral-Natural-Dental\/dp\/B006YFYEBQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Outstanding oral care<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This toothbrushing kit contains top-notch toothpaste that contains the company's proprietary Denta-C solution, which is proven to reduce plaque.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Runner Up<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nylabone-Advanced-Oral-Natural-Dental\/dp\/B006YFYEBQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Nylabone is well known in the dog toy industry for creating hygiene-forward toys that last practically forever, and this advanced oral care kit stays in line with the company&#8217;s sterling reputation. Nylabone&#8217;s toothpaste contains its very own &#8220;Denta-C&#8221; bacteria-fighting blend that works to kill plaque buildup before it can harden into tartar. Not only is Nylabone&#8217;s toothpaste on point, but its toothbrushes are excellent as well. The long toothbrush in the kit features an angled neck that makes it much easier to reach those tough-to-reach back molar areas. The finger brush features softer bristles and a hard protective cap that protects your fingertip if your dog happens to bite during brushing.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent toothpaste containing plaque-killing &#8220;Denta-C&#8221; solution<\/li>\n<li>The long brush has an angled head that helps reach back molars<\/li>\n<li>Protective finger brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The peanut butter toothpaste may be a turnoff to some dogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Paws and Pals Dog Dental Care Kit<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enzymatic-Toothpaste-Dental-Toothbrush-Hygiene\/dp\/B073PZ9135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enzymatic-Toothpaste-Dental-Toothbrush-Hygiene\/dp\/B073PZ9135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='Paws and Pals Dog Dental Care Kit' alt='Paws and Pals Dog Dental Care Kit' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41X6YWqQu3L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enzymatic-Toothpaste-Dental-Toothbrush-Hygiene\/dp\/B073PZ9135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pearly whites<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">In this bundle, Paws and Pals offers highly affordable, beef-flavored toothpaste for pooches along with one long brush and one finger brush for problem areas.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Two-Pack<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enzymatic-Toothpaste-Dental-Toothbrush-Hygiene\/dp\/B073PZ9135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Paws and Pals is an up-and-comer in the doggie dental care game, and this toothpaste and toothbrush combo is turning even more heads in the dog owner community. Many oral care products formulated for dogs contain imitations of beef flavors; in the process, they end up being something that neither dog nor owner wants to touch with a ten-foot pole. However, Paws and Pals&#8217; beef-flavored toothpaste has achieved the perfect balance between cleansing and appealing to your dog&#8217;s carnivore sensibilities. This toothpaste provides excellent tartar control, which is the number one culprit in making your lovely pup&#8217;s breath stinky. Not to mention, this kit also offers a double-sided long toothbrush alongside a handy little finger brush.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Great tasting toothpaste that cleanses<\/li>\n<li>Good tartar control<\/li>\n<li>Features two types of toothbrushes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some dogs have issues with the long toothbrush in the kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pet Republique Dog Toothbrush Series<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pet-Republique-Cat-Dog-Toothbrush\/dp\/B01D6R1F6G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pet-Republique-Cat-Dog-Toothbrush\/dp\/B01D6R1F6G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='Pet Republique Dog Toothbrush Series' alt='Pet Republique Dog Toothbrush Series' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51My6qh0W7L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pet-Republique-Cat-Dog-Toothbrush\/dp\/B01D6R1F6G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Better brushing<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">Pet Republique's six-pack of long toothbrushes provides an excellent way to give your dog deep teeth cleaning without ever putting your hand too close to their mouth.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Long Brush<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pet-Republique-Cat-Dog-Toothbrush\/dp\/B01D6R1F6G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Not only does brushing your dog&#8217;s teeth seem difficult, but it can also be scary. The bottom line is, no matter how much your little guy loves you, you&#8217;re still jamming some uncomfortable brush and unfamiliar soapy stuff into his mouth and wiggling it all around. That can turn even the most docile of dogs into a fiend. Luckily, Pet Republique&#8217;s six-pack of long dog toothbrushes offers a foolproof way to put some distance between you and your dog&#8217;s bared chompers. Each toothbrush has two sides \u2014 one side with fewer bristles and one side with more.

One of these techniques is the finger brush. Finger brushes are caps that you slip onto your finger and manually clean plaque and tartar off of your dog&#8217;s teeth. Many dogs prefer this more personal method over the clunkiness of long toothbrushes. Unlike many other finger brushes, the bristles on Toofers&#8217; brush cover 360 degrees of its <span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\">surface, making it much easier to clean hard-to-reach places like behind the back molars.

Tartar is the hardened form of plaque that appears when plaque hasn&#8217;t been sufficiently cleaned from your dog&#8217;s teeth. You cannot remove tartar without a professional cleaning. You can, however, remove plaque and keep the tartar buildup from growing larger in your dog&#8217;s mouth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How often should I brush my dog&#8217;s teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, every day would be the best way to go.
