What are the steps to safely brush a dog's teeth at home?

Start by choosing a quiet time and place. Let your dog taste a bit of dog toothpaste from your finger. Gently lift their lips to expose the teeth and gums. Using a dog toothbrush or finger brush, brush in small circles, focusing on the outer surfaces. Gradually increase the brushing time as your dog becomes more comfortable. Aim for daily brushing for optimal dental health.
