If brushing your dog’s teeth feels impossible, you’re in the majority.

Most dogs hate brushing — and most owners end up avoiding it.

But ignoring oral care leads to:

• bad breath

• plaque & tartar

• painful gums

• expensive vet cleanings

Here’s why brushing doesn’t work for most dogs… and what you can do instead.

Why Dogs Hate Brushing

Dogs aren’t used to having tools in their mouth.

To them, brushing feels like:

• intrusion

• discomfort

• loss of control

• stress

So they fight, pull away, or hide — making brushing inconsistent and pointless.

Why Inconsistent Brushing Is a Problem

Plaque and bacteria build up every single day.

If brushing only happens:

• once a week

• once a month

• or “when I can get to it”

…it’s not enough to keep your dog’s mouth healthy.

What Happens When Plaque Stays?

It hardens into tartar and leads to:

• stronger bad breath

• gum irritation

• tooth pain

• tooth loss

• $400–$900 vet cleanings

And once bacteria reach the bloodstream, they can affect your dog’s overall wellness.

⭐ The Better Way to Keep Your Dog’s Mouth Clean

If brushing doesn’t work, you need a routine your dog won’t resist.

That’s why so many dog parents are switching to water additives — a tasteless oral-care formula you add directly to your pup’s water bowl.

Dogs drink normally → bacteria are reduced throughout the day.

Why It Works

• no brushing

• no stress

• consistent daily cleaning

• fresher breath

• supports healthier teeth & gums

It gives you all the benefits of brushing, without the battle.
