You brush your teeth every day to prevent tooth decay, and your Beagle needs daily dental care, too. Dogs suffer from many of the same dental problems humans do, including infections that can enter the bloodstream and affect the major organ systems.<\/p>\n
Many veterinary dentists agree that poor dental health could result in serious health problems and even early death. At the very least, regular brushing will reduce the need for expensive dental cleanings as your Beagle ages. Brushing is a very important part of keeping your Beagle healthy.<\/p>\n
Any soft toothbrush will work, but brushes made for dogs have longer handles, which can make it easier to reach back teeth. Don\u2019t use a toothpaste made for humans. Dogs shouldn\u2019t swallow these, and you can\u2019t exactly tell your Beagle to spit. Instead, purchase a toothpaste specifically made for dogs. These pastes are flavored with doggy-delicious flavors like chicken or liver, so your Beagle will probably enjoy them.<\/p>\n
