Can human toothpaste like crest or colgate be used to clean dog teeth?
definatly not. you are going to want to get a toothpaste made for dogs
Reply:NO! Dogs cannot tolerate Fluoride! Go to your local pet supplies store (or vets office, you will find many varieties and flavors of doggie safe toothpaste! You can however use human toothbrushes! Good luck and happy brushing!





ADD: Golden Gal is completely correct... if you are in a pinch you can use baking soda mixed with water (to create a paste consistency) and brush away!
Reply:No, use dog toothpaste that is made for dogs.
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t think so... they might swallow it and the chemicals in it aren%26#039;t good for humans, letalone dogs.





But there are breath freshener foods and rawhide bones.... well maybe not rawhide but bones. Just check your local petstore, they should have them.





Good luck!
Reply:NO! The things in human tooth past is not good for dogs like floride! Just use baking soda if you dont have the dog tooth paste ok. Make a paste of baking soad and water and brush your dogs teeth.
Reply:i don%26#039;t know but i wouldn%26#039;t try it... you can make toothpaste for dogs by mixing baking soda and water until it makes a pasty substance... or buy doggy toothpaste at a pet supply store... they have flavors such as beef... also they sell doggy breath mints in some stores
Reply:No, and if it has bad breath then buy him some dog or puppy (wtv one you have) mints
Reply:Yes, use meat flavored Crest. He will hate minty flavor.
Reply:Absolutely NOT! The abrasives in human toothpaste are much too harsh for dogs. In addition, human toothpaste is not meant to be swallowed. There are chemicals in human toothpaste that could be dangerous, both to us and dogs.


They do make mint dog toothpaste...
Reply:No. It%26#039;s not good for dogs.

Reply:Don%26#039;t use human toothpaste try raw meaty bones or chicken necks, feet and backs. Chewing on raw(not cooked) bones will clean your dogs teeth better than any toothpaste.
Reply:No,don%26#039;t you dare use human toothpaste on your dog or you%26#039;ll make it sick. Use dog biscuits that have tarter control to whiten teeth.
Reply:YES
Reply:yeah that%26#039;s what i use .just don%26#039;t let your pooch swallow to much of it or it might make him sick.
