How Do Animals Clean Their Teeth?

Yes you should. Depending on the animal it can be a bit challenging. I have 4 ferrets and a cat, they can be a real challenge. Good dental health in all animals is important just as it is in humans. There are tooth brushes to fit each animal needs and toothpastes that animals generally like the taste of. Consult your vet on some effective ways to help brush your animals teeth. All you can do is your best, don't get too discouraged if it seems difficult. You also should maintain your animals teeth with dental cleanings from your vet. Good Luck
