Can I brush my dog's teeth with crest?

I know you're supposed to get doggie toothpaste, but would it hurt the dog to clean her teeth with regular human toothpaste??Can I brush my dog's teeth with crest?
No. Buy a toothpaste made for dogs. It doesn't sudse. I don't know if fluoride can harm them.Can I brush my dog's teeth with crest?
You have basically gotten your answer. Do not brush your dog's teeth with human toothpaste. There are ingredients in our toothpaste that can make a dog sick or even be toxic to a dog. Stick with toothpaste made for dogs or just brush them with a dry brush. One thing that is good for the teeth but people worry about giving them to the dogs, raw bones. Not bones that have been boiled or out of a piece of meat that has been cooked, those bones will be brittle and can break into shards that are dangerous for the dog. Raw bones are not brittle and the dogs' teeth really get cleaned up when gnawing on the bones.






NO! That's basically like asking if you can feed your dog chocolate--which I hope you do know is not safe for a dog.





If you go to your local petstore, they have tubes of toothpaste that will be safe for your dog to use. They sell toothpaste as well as toothbrushes (which is better to use doggie toothbrushes because they softer for their gums) in packages that are about 10 bucks, which is cheaper rather than giving your dog crest toothpaste and having to go to the vet...
They do make dog toothpaste with fluoride in it only I'm not sure what the fluoride content is compared to human toothpaste.If you find out the level and it is the same I guess you can use the human toothpaste.Maybe I can find out the contents by searching around the net.
Dogs don't understand not to swallow toothpaste... so no, don't give him human toothpaste.





You can use baking soda and water, or you can just use a wet toothbrush. It's the stimulation of the gums that really makes the difference in a dogs oral health.
NO! Flouride is toxic to dogs! Many human toothpastes also contain Xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs.








If you need to use something to brush your dog's teeth.. get some baking soda and make a ';paste'; out of it with a little water.. use that to brush his teeth with.
Yes, the fluoride in the toothpaste is bad for dogs and humans alike. Think about it, why do we spit out our toothpaste? Because its bad for us to swallow. You can't make a dog spit on command, so invest in a bottle of dog toothpaste.
No. Your dog is not able to rinse and spit. No one should ingest toothpaste. If you don't want to buy doggie paste, just use a brush and that will be just as good to remove some of the surface build up to prevent tartar from forming.
You cant use human toothpaste. You just cant. I dont think I need to explain, the people above me seem to have gave you all the information you needed.
I am sure it would not hurt, but she won't like it and doggie toothpaste has different substances they help a dog's teeth stay healthy.
They don't like the minty fresh feeling - just like we would not appreciate liver toothpaste.
they won't like the taste of crest so why not buy some toothpaste that is made for dogs. It tastes better for them and still gets the job done!!!
No. You can buy toothpast specially made for dogs at the pet store.
dogs don't appreciate minty feeling or hot tastes so i would hope you dont cuz he may also die.


ask a vet
No, I brush my dogs' teeth with mint flavored dog tooth paste instead of the liver flavor.
