How to Brush the Teeth of a Chinese Pug

If you have a Chinese pug you know they love to eat. If your pug loves food and doggie treats, chances are he or she has developed a build up of plaque and film on their teeth. Taking the time out to brush your Chinese pug's teeth once a week or more will prevent periodontal disease in your canine; which is another term for tooth decay and tooth loss. Brushing your Chinese pug's teeth will leave your pet with healthy, clean and fresh smelling breath.
