How To Improve The Dental Health Of Blue Pitbull Puppies

By Ronald Williams


Dogs like humans require proper oral health maintenance to improve their general health. Surprisingly, most people are unable to maintain the teeth of their puppies clean and healthy particularly if the puppies cannot tolerate brushing. Oral care for Blue Pitbull Puppies comes in different aspects, which you should fully know before you buy any of the puppies. If you do not regularly clean the teeth of your dog, he will develop dental problems such as the periodontal disease and his pearly white smile will be no more. The dental care techniques below will highly improve the oral health of your puppy.

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.

If you do not regularly brush the teeth of your puppy for some reasons, it is advisable to buy him dental toys. These toys do not only entice your puppy to play, but they also clean teeth by scraping off the tartar present in the teeth and along the gumline. They usually come in rawhide, nylon and rubber forms among others.

Switch to effective tartar control treats to prevent plaque that usually forms along the gum line of your dog. When the plaque combines with the saliva salts of your puppy, it hardens to form tartar. If the tartar along the gum line is not removed, it weakens the enamel, which protects roots against tooth sensitivity, pain, and other oral illnesses. However, the treats are effective in preventing tartar buildup.

Dental foam products are other effective alternatives you can explore to give your puppy the dental treatment it deserves. The deodorizing and antibacterial properties make foam products effective in fighting plaque buildup and keeping the breath of your puppy fresh at all times. Foams with ingredients like baking soda prevent any form of teeth discoloration especially if they are properly applied.

Proper feeding plays an integral role in oral health maintenance. Introduce your puppy to fresh fruits and vegetables such as parsley, celery, carrots, apples, cucumber and coconut oil to keep its teeth and gums clean and healthy. Researchers from the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) assert that coconut oil contains lauric acid, which eliminates periodontal disease-causing bacteria as well as bad breath.

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.
