How Do I Keep My Dog's Mouth Clean?


Everyone wants to make sure they're taking the best possible care of their dogs. From feeding them a proper diet to making sure they get exercise, or just giving them lots of hugs and kisses, there are so many different ways to keep our dogs on the right path health-wise that it can be easy to neglect certain areas of care. An often overlooked aspect is their dental care. 

Just like with humans, dental care is an important part of every dog’s life. However, most of us are not aware of how to give the appropriate dental care that a dog requires. If a dog’s dental hygiene is neglected, it can lead to periodontal disease, which results in tooth decay, tooth loss and other dangerous conditions such as infections, potential jaw damage, and even heart disease.

None of us want that to happen to our beloved canine companions. That's why we designed products that make it easy to take care of your dog's dental health. Let’s take a look at the options: 

Brushing Their Teeth

The most traditional way to clean your dog’s mouth is by brushing their teeth but this can be a frustrating experience that neither of you enjoy.  Thankfully, at TruDog we have some highly effective ways to brush your dog’s teeth without making it a cumbersome experience for either of you.

Orapup Starter Kit:

The Orapup Starter Kit is an amazing tool that allows you to clean your dog's teeth and mouth without any actual brushing. Thanks to the Orapup Starter Kit, you won’t have to go through that ordeal ever again.

Here’s how it works: you apply the Orapup Lickies Gel onto the brush and then let your dog lick it off. The gel then coats their teeth and tongue, combating plaque and bad breath to build your dogs natural oral health and defend against bad breath. It’s that simple. 

Here’s a video on how the whole thing works:
If that weren’t impressive enough, the Orapup Lickies Gel is flavored like Beef & Bacon. Your dog is guaranteed to love the flavor. And they’ll love having their teeth cleaned because they won’t even know it’s happening. To them, it’ll just be a delicious snack that they lick!

Spraying Their Mouths

If you don’t like the idea of brushing your dog’s teeth or having them lick a brush, then we have the solution for you. Here at TruDog, we provide the best and most efficient sprays that will clean and strengthen your dog’s mouth.


SPRAY ME All Natural And Effective Dental Spray for Dog Breath:

The SPRAY ME All Natural And Effective Dental Spray for Dog Breath is an innovative new way to clean and maintain your dog’s oral health and hygiene. Gum disease forms from the bacteria that makes plaque and tartar. This special spray is designed specifically to control bacteria levels that form the plaque and tartar that cause gum disease. It also freshens your dog’s breath while simultaneously improving their overall tooth and gum health.

Cleaning Their Mouths With Gel

If you are not comfortable with the brushing or spraying, there's another option...Dental Gel.

Gel Me – Doggy Dental Gel: 

Gel Me – Doggy Dental Gel is a safe and effective gel that has been specially designed to clean your dog’s mouth in the most effective way possible, while still giving them fresh breath. Providing all the benefits of the Orapup Starter Kit and the SPRAY ME All Natural And Effective Dental Spray for Dog Breath, this gel is applied directly onto the dog’s teeth by your finger or with gauze. It improves your dog’s teeth and gums in as little as 4-6 weeks. Just make sure you use it daily.

It's important to note that this product contains small doses of alcohol. If you are uncomfortable with this, be sure to check out our alcohol-free version of the Gel Me – Doggy Dental Gel here.
