Brushing Your Yorkshire Terrier’s Teeth, A Step by Step

Are you a proud Yorkie parent? If so, you know how important keeping your pup’s teeth clean and healthy is. Unfortunately, many pet owners don’t realize that brushing their dog’s teeth should be part of their regular grooming routine. Fortunately, with the right tools and techniques, brushing your Yorkie’s teeth doesn’t have to be a chore! Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to brush your Yorkie’s teeth:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies – Before starting any dental care routine for your pup, make sure you have all the necessary supplies handy; toothbrush (a finger brush works best), toothpaste formulated specifically for dogs (never use human products!), cotton swabs or gauze pads soaked in warm water if needed.

Step 2: Start Slow – Introduce dental hygiene slowly by getting them used to having objects near their mouth, like giving them treats from between two fingers or massaging around the lips gently with wet gauze until they become comfortable with it.

Step 3: Brush Away – Once they are comfortable enough, start introducing the toothbrush into playtime activities, such as hiding pieces of kibble under the bristles and letting them lick off, etc. This will help familiarize him with its presence in his mouth without feeling threatened. When he is ready, begin using gentle circular motions when brushing his gums and tongue while also making sure not too much pressure is applied since this can cause discomfort or pain, which could prevent him from wanting anything near his mouth again!

Step 4: Finish Up – After each session, give plenty of praise along with some yummy treats as rewards for being brave during cleaning time! Ensure that after every session, all supplies are washed thoroughly before storing away so bacteria do not spread amongst other toys/objects within reachable distance from where they were stored previously.

By following these simple steps regularly, you can ensure that both yourself & Fido stay happy & healthy together!
