Solutions for dogs who resist brushing their teeth

If your dog is resistant to brushing, you can choose to use some snacks , hold it in your hand, slowly put it into the dog's mouth, touch it with snacks and apply it on the dog's teeth, so that the dog will feel that it will not be hurt, and after the dog gradually adapts, use a toothbrush. Tentatively reach into the mouth and brush teeth slowly until the dog is completely accustomed to it.
