This post is for guide dog handlers or pet dog owners. If you don’t like the thick, sticky consistency or the prices of commercial brand dog toothpastes and want a natural alternative, this post is for you and those lovable fur faces in your family. Here is a doggie toothpaste recipe for you. 
If you visit the Cooking Without Looking website, it would be great. It would be even better if you leave a comment on this blog as well as on the Cooking Without Looking site.
Happy brushing!

A huge thanks to Ren’ee Rentmiester for posting these recipes. I am reposting them here for your convenience.   
While you should always consult with your veterinarian before using homemade dog toothpaste, here are some popular recipes using safe and readily available ingredients:

• Basic Coconut Oil & Baking Soda Toothpaste: This recipe involves mixing equal parts melted coconut oil and baking soda to form a paste.
• Minty Fresh Toothpaste: This variation includes melted coconut oil and baking soda, with the addition of dried parsley, dried mint, and ground cinnamon for flavor.
• Simple Baking Soda & Broth Toothpaste: This recipe uses equal parts baking soda and water or broth to create a paste.
Important Notes:
• Ingredients like baking soda are generally safe in small amounts but some vets advise caution as large quantities can be harmful. Coconut oil has antibacterial properties. Adding broth or other dog-safe flavorings can make brushing easier.
• Store homemade toothpaste in an airtight container, and refrigeration may be necessary depending on ingredients.
• Always supervise your dog during brushing to prevent ingestion of large amounts of toothpaste.
• Brush gently with a dog toothbrush, focusing on the outer surfaces and gum line.

Note: some other types of application strategies are using a finger brush or an untreated 3-inch gauze square. Make sure the gauze is not coated with nonstick ingredients. Open the gauze and wrap it around the tip of your finger and rub the teeth and guns as you would with a toothbrush.

 
• Consult your veterinarian before using any homemade toothpaste to ensure it’s suitable for your dog.
Remember, brushing your dog’s teeth is an essential part of their oral hygiene routine.
