Brushing Your Dog's Teeth
Use a toothbrush and toothpaste for dogs. Human toothpaste is NOT safe for dogs.
Open your dog’s mouth by lifting his lips at the sides of his mouth. Brush his teeth. Most dogs love the yummy flavored toothpastes; however some dogs are not very fond of the procedure. If that is the case, give your dog a few dental bones to chew on.
Regular checkups at the vet’s should include a dental examination and regular cleanings.
Cleaning Your Dog's Ears
You can use a Q-Tip, but be careful. Moisten it first with some water. Carefully wipe the exterior areas of your dog's ears. Never insert the Q-Tip directly into the ears; the eardrum is very sensitive and easily destroyed.
You can use a table spoon of Peroxide and let it drip into the ear. I suggest you do this outside, because your dog will shake his head and most of the gunk will go flying everywhere.
