You should not use baby toothpaste on a dog. Many of them contain one or more chemicals that could be toxic to dogs.

There are special toothpastes available at most pet stores and veterinarians specifically formulated for dogs. I use one called BreathaLyser using a soft toothbrush. If your pet does not react well to a toothbrush, try using your finger instead.

No, because they're not "able" to spit out the toothpaste, and it may be hard on them. But, Any pet stores in your area (petsmart, petco, ect.) have dog toothbrushes that usually come in packs including the toothbrush, a finger brush, and toothpaste. The toothpaste will usually last about 3 months if used in a routine. If you have a hyper dog, it's not nessecary to hold him down or distract him, you should pick him/her up and hold under it's "elbow" area while your brushing. If you use this technique, it's better to use a finger brush because you just scrub the teeth with your finger. Hope this helps !

No, it's not okay to give a dog "human toothpaste" because if they swallow it, it can make them sick. It is easy to find "dog toothpaste". Any pet stores in your area (petsmart, petco, etc..) have dog toothpaste, finger brushes and toothbrushes that usually come in packs of three. The toothpaste will usually last about 3 months if used in a routine. If you have a hyper dog, it's not nessecary to hold him down or distract him, you should pick him/her up and hold under it's "elbow" area while your brushing.

Is it safe for dogs to eat toothpaste?

normally, it will make a dog sick or act strange. Also it can poison dogs if enough is taken in because dogs will usually swallow the paste. It's just like giving a baby regular toothpaste and regular toothpaste can also hurt a baby. DO NOT GIVE A DOG TOOTHPASTE! You can go to local stores like Walmart or Petsmart and get a dog toothpaste and brush or try to look online for recipes to make dog toothpaste.

Can you use human toothpaste for a dog?

No, that is not recommended. Human toothpaste contains ingredients that could be harmful or toxic to dogs. But there are some good toothpastes made specifically for dogs; these are formulated for a dog's tastes, which will make brushing his/her teeth much easier for you, and for the dog. If the dog likes the flavor of the toothpaste, then you won't have to fight them to brush their teeth.

No, human toothpaste should never be used on cats. Fluoride is present in most toothpastes and is toxic if ingested, especially to such a small animal like a cat.
