How to Keep Your Dog’s Teeth Clean Naturally

🐾 Dental Health = Overall Health

Good dental care helps prevent:

  • Pain

  • Tooth loss

  • Heart and kidney issues

The best part?
You can naturally keep your dog’s teeth clean with simple habits.
Let’s go! ✨


🪥 1. Brush Their Teeth (The Natural Gold Standard)

Brushing removes plaque before it hardens into tartar.

How Often?

✔ 2–3 times per week
✔ Daily for best results

Natural Toothpaste Ingredients

Look for paste containing:

  • Coconut oil

  • Baking soda (very small amount)

  • Parsley

  • Aloe (dog-safe only)

🦴 2. Give Dental Chews & Natural Chewing Options

Chewing helps reduce tartar buildup by scraping teeth gently.

Great natural options:

  • Sweet potato slices

  • Carrot sticks

  • Yak cheese chews

  • Beef tendons (fully dried)

Avoid cooked bones — they splinter.


🌿 3. Coconut Oil Rub

A tiny bit of coconut oil rubbed on the gums
→ antibacterial
→ breath-freshening
→ reduces mild inflammation

Use sparingly!


🍃 4. Add Parsley to Their Diet

Parsley (fresh, small amounts) helps freshen breath naturally.
Many natural dog treats now include parsley as a key ingredient.


💧 5. Use Water Additives (Natural & Vet-Safe)

Look for:

  • Chlorhexidine-free formulas

  • Herbal blends (mint, green tea, aloe)

  • No artificial sweeteners

These help reduce bacterial buildup and improve breath.


🧸 6. Use Dental Toys

Rubber toys with ridges help scrape teeth during play.

🧼 7. Regular Vet Dental Checks

Even natural care routines need professional oversight.
Your vet can identify:

  • Early gum issues

  • Pain

  • Hidden tartar

  • Broken or infected teeth

Once a year is recommended.


✨ Final Thoughts

Natural dental care keeps your dog healthy, happy, and pain-free —
without stressful routines or harsh chemicals.

Start small, stay consistent, and make brushing time fun.
Your dog (and your nose!) will thank you. 🐕💛
