Coconut oil is the best thing for brushing a dogs teeth. They love it and it softens thew tarter without upsetting their stomachs.

[@r4qu3l50]

I do this!!!! I just do coconut oil and baking soda. Thanks for letting us know about adding peppermint essential oil!!!! ❤️🐶

[@gsbstanley]

Love watching the dog showing how fun it is trying to brush her teeth. My dog is just the same, its always fun.

[@kantapunwanibali5477]

This is just as good for humans. I can vouch for it; been my personal toothpaste for past 2yrs now!

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Human toothpaste may need fluoride though but not for dogs!

[@kantapunwanibali5477]

@@VeterinarySecrets I’m doing without fluoride n it seems like no problem yet.

[@laurienordin2076]

@@kantapunwanibali5477 do Not use fluoride!! health issues with fluoride! it fights for the same sites as iodine! in a iodine deficient body of humans or pets, the fluoride molecule attaches to the iodine receptor and pumps poison into our bodies and robs our bodies of the rich benefits of iodine (our bodies need iodine! to perform efficiently). do Not use fluoride! we have been 'lied' to !!

[@miraquarius]

I brush my chihuahua teeth almost everyday now. He had a very expensive dental a few months ago and the pet toothpaste is so expensive too! He has got used to the brushing and is become a good sport about it now. Thank you for this toothpaste recipe.

[@DianeCrystal]

My dog hates the coconut oil toothpaste 😭😭 she’s a Maltese shih Tsu mix and she will NOT let me brush her no matter what I DO 😭 I even tried a small tooth brush because the big one was too big. She keeps growling and she looks like she’s going to bite me. I’ve tried the green treats for the teeth and it hasn’t helped.

[@miraquarius]

@@DianeCrystal Just keep trying, it gets easier and easier, I promise. Try using a VERY SMALL amount of beef or chicken fat instead of coconut oil. Also, she may not be allowing you to brush her teeth because she may have dental pain and she may need to have a dental done by the veterinarian. Trust me, you will get the teeth brushing down! Good luck :)

Love your videos. Wish you would make a recipe for pet food that will work for both cats and dogs. If a dog chases down a quail and eats it and a cat eats a sparrow, nature does not seem to view this as poor diets. Thank you for considering my request.

[@VeronicaMarce]

Hi Dr. Andrew Jones. I read that baking soda can be too abrasive for the teeth and damages the enamel. We've been giving this to our pups but do you recommend every other day or is it safe to give everyday? Thank you!

[@thirdeyereptiles1772]

I had the same question, maybe just don't brush everyday 🤔 I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

[@NeurotopicPodcast]

It's just as dangerous for human teeth and its the main ingredient in any arm and hammer human toothpaste (which I've used for over 20 years for myself) just be gentle and don't over use

[@Pickles1919]

I use just a tiny bit of the baking soda for my 12 pound Maltipoo. I brush once a week, rinse her mouth out with a dropper of water afterwards, take a smart washcloth and wipe her teeth, and then give her a treat😉. It's been almost 2 years since she had a professional cleaning and her teeth are still tartar free and white. I just found out about the coconut oil and will use it sometimes.

[@t-bonena3609]

Pippie is a happy dog. Cute.

[@gordonculp3646]

I use plain baking soda on a wet brush plus a bit of dog toothpaste for taste. It works well for gingivitis but I've had trouble breaking down tartar. I watched another video suggesting a bit of salt as well for gum disease. Good video and Pippi gave me a good laugh.
