The unique design of the KissAble toothbrush makes it easy to clean all three sides of the tooth with one stroke. The soft bristles massage the gums while the firmer bristles clean teeth. The vanilla flavored toothpaste is All Natural and is great for dogs and their people! You can't just use YOUR toothpaste for your dog (as convenient as that may be). Human toothpaste contains soap. That's what makes it foam. But soap shouldn't be ingested... and smart as your dog may be, you're not going to teach him to spit!
Why brush your dogs teeth
There really is no excuse for ignoring your dog’s dental care, but many dog owners do. The American Veterinary Dental Society found that 80 percent of dogs have periodontal disease before the age of 3… and that condition carries a lot of serious health risks.Without brushing, plaque builds up on your dog’s teeth. It breaks off and is absorbed into the bloodstream. That can lead to blocked arteries, which causes heart disease and kidney problems.
Just few years ago, the idea of brushing your dog’s teeth was nearly unheard of. While it is gaining popularity, the majority of pet owners still do not brush their dogs’ teeth on a regular basis.

| Gum Disease According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs suffer from periodontal disease by the age of two. Periodontal disease is caused by live, bad bacteria known as plaque. This bacteria destroys the gums and the bone structure that supports the teeth and can lead to tooth loss and multiple infections. | Infections can start in the mouth due to bad oral hygiene. These infections not only cause bad breath, but they can also spread to other areas of the body causing respiratory problems, lung and brain infections, and many other health problems. | Heart Disease can be exacerbated due to plaque and tartar build-up. Eventually the build-up will break off and can be absorbed into the blood stream, increasing inflammation in the arteries and leading to an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. |
