Warning:

1. Never use human toothpaste (any dental cream) for brushing your dog’s teeth. This contains fluoride, which can prove to be fatal for your dog if it swallows the paste.
2. Electrolyte imbalances are common to dogs consuming large amounts of baking soda, and if they eat lots of coconut oil, it would bring in diarrhea.
3. In case your dog threats to bite you while cleaning its teeth, take professional help from your vet or professionals. To keep your dog patient, you can also provide it with chew toys when your doggy dentist visits.
