Tip 1- Go at Your Dog’s Pace

You want to ensure that your dog is comfortable according to their behaviour. It is important to create a positive environment to ensure that your dog associates brushing their teeth with a positive experience. Overtime with daily brushing, your dog will begin to cooperate with you more and more as they get used to these positive repetitive oral health care activities. It is important to progressively build up brushing sessions over time, until your pet is comfortable with the BiteBlock.

Tip 2- Consider Comfort

It is important you are using a toothbrush and brushing aid that is comfortable for your dog. The BiteBlock is made of a flexible natural rubber material that will help protect your dog’s gums and roof of their mouth from getting hurt while brushing. The natural rubber material also helps protect your fingers from getting bitten. Canine companions come in all different shapes and sizes, and as a result the BiteBlock takes this into account coming in 3 different sizes depending on your dog’s weight.
