How Do I Clean My Dog’s Teeth?

  1. Choose the correct head - Easily switch between sharp and flat heads with the included wrench for deep cleaning. Switch between these to remove plaque and tooth stains near the gum line. Or to remove heavy build up and stains on the back and base of the teeth. 

  2. Select a mode - Select which mode will work best for your furry friend's comfort level. Choose between 5 distinct modes, (1) Soft, (2) Comfort, (3) Standard, (4) Strong, and (5) Super Strong. 

  3. Turn on LED light - Once powered on, the LED light automatically turns on. 

  4. Remove any build-up - Using the cleaning head move it in either vertical or horizontal lines on the main surface of the tooth, and in curved motions as you get closer to the gum line. 

  5. Don’t miss any spots - Making sure to clean thoroughly between teeth and on the bottom of your dogs teeth as well.

Reminders When Cleaning 

  • Make sure to work only on the surface of the tooth and not to apply unnecessary force or pressure when cleaning your pets teeth. 

  • Avoid using the tip on any clean tooth surfaces without any visible plaque or buildup 

  • Thoroughly clean your dental kit after using. This can be done by steaming, soaking in alcohol, or using high temperature and pressure methods. 


Tips for Acclimating 

For many pet parents, this may be your pup’s first exposure to a dog tooth cleaner, Making sure that you are gradually introducing your pet to the device can help make the experience stress free and positive. Start by letting your dog sniff and explore the device while it’s turned off. Gently touch their teeth and gums with your fingers to get them used to the sensation.

Next, turn the device on and allow your dog to hear the sound from a distance before slowly bringing the cleaning head close to their mouth. Use gentle, calm motions and praise your dog throughout the process. 

Keeping sessions short at first, gradually increasing the time as your dog becomes more comfortable. Patience and positive reinforcement will help your dog adjust smoothly to this new dental routine!

By following these steps, cleaning your pup’s teeth with the PawsPik® Ultrasonic Dog Plaque Remover & Teeth Cleaner Dental Kit will be a breeze in no time!
