Dog Toothpaste?

Question

so... i was giving my dog a bath and i usually brush his teeth when i do this, but i couldnt find his dog toothpaste, so i thought, why not use human toothpaste. so, i did. do you think this is bad for him?

Answer 1

Yes, because he won't understand that it's poisonous and he should rinse and spit, not swallow.

Answer 2

Always use a specially formulated dog toothpaste. Because dogs can't rinse and spit after a brushing, the dog toothpaste must be safe for pets to swallow! Some human toothpastes contain detergents which can irritate pets' stomachs, and, in addition, large quantities of ingested fluoride can harm pets.

You can try Oxyfresh Pet Gel.

Answer 3

It's not great for him, but it won't cause him any real damage. Human toothpaste is designed to be spit out, since it is mildly poisonous. However, most kinds are also designed with the common sense that sometimes people swallow a little, and kids swallow a lot, so as long as you only use the designated amount, there shouldn't be any issues.
