Frequently Asked Questions

Do dog dental wipes work?

Dental wipes for dogs can effectively promote oral health when used as part of a comprehensive dental care routine. These wipes are designed to help remove plaque and tartar buildup from your dog's teeth. 

Additionally, many dental wipes are formulated with ingredients that help freshen your dog's breath. While dental wipes can be beneficial, they are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive oral health plan that includes regular toothbrushing, dental chews, water additives, and professional dental cleanings.

What are some vet-recommended dental wipes for dogs?

When it comes to finding the best dog dental wipes, two great choices are Maxi/Guard Oral Cleansing Wipes and Vetradent® Dental Wipes for Cats & Dogs

Maxi/Guard textured wipes are gentle and have a special solution to help fight plaque and tartar while freshening breath. 

Vetradent® uses Biotrate™ technology that alters the environment in your pet's mouth to combat the bacteria responsible for plaque, tartar, and bad breath. Both options make it easy to keep your dog's teeth and gums healthy at home.

How do you use dog dental wipes?

Using dog dental wipes is easy! All you have to do is take a dental wipe and gently rub it along your dog's teeth and gums, focusing on areas where plaque and tartar tend to accumulate.

 You can use your fingers to wrap the wipe around them for better control and reach. 

Make sure to cover all surfaces of the teeth, including the front, back, and chewing surfaces. It's best to start slowly and gradually increase the time spent on each session as your dog becomes more comfortable with the process.

How often should I use dental wipes on my dog?

How often you use dental wipes on your pup depends on several factors. If your dog has fairly healthy teeth and gums, a few times a week should do the trick to help keep their mouth clean and fresh. However, if your furry friend tends to get a lot of plaque buildup or already has some dental issues, you might need to use them more often, maybe even every day. 

Find a routine that works for you and your dog. Of course, it never hurts to chat with your vet about what's best for your dog's dental health.

Do dog dental wipes replace toothbrushing?

Using dog dental wipes can be a helpful addition to your pup's oral care routine, but they're not a substitute for toothbrushing. While they're convenient for quick clean-ups and can be a good option if your dog isn't keen on toothbrushing, they're not as effective at removing plaque and tartar as brushing. 

They can be a useful alternative while training your dog to accept toothbrushing or in-between brushing sessions. However, using a regular dog toothbrush with dog-specific toothpaste remains the best practice for optimal dental health.
