Is it okay to use Colgate toothpaste to brush your dogs teeth.
I tried asking this question on a dog blog site but did not get any response. I have a 55 pound dog and his teeth are really yellow and is breath stinks. I have been told that you should brush your dogs teeth. So I have been trying to brush is teeth with baking soda but he really does not like it. So can I use my Colgate. I mean if I use only a little would that be okay? Just wondering.

I do not think it is wise to brush your dogs teeth with people toothpaste. Dogs can not spit. Therefor will be swallowing some of the toothpaste used.
I do not think the fluoride would good for your dog. That said go to your local pet store. They make toothpaste for dogs.
