I know they sell tooth paste for dogs, and the vet told us about it.  Without remembering my fiance brushed our puppies teeth with our regular toothpaste.  How sick is this going to make him?  She said she only used a tiny bit of toothpaste.

Not sure, but someone will know.

Luther licked some up before and he was fine..  

How much did he get?

 

[Guest]

I guess only a very small amount.  Enough to brush puppy teeth?

I would call your vet and get their input.   cant hurt.

Called the vet.  They said he should be ok.  Might give him some diarreha.

My vet gave us a sample of Virbac Enzymatic Toothpaste  (Poultry Flavour) and toothbrush for Sophie and Kane and they really love it.  Don't know what human toothpaste would do - but mine love their doggie toothpaste!!!

Yeah Oggie loves the chicken toothpaste.  He licks it up so much, he doesn't even realize I'm trying to brush his teeth.

Our dog Buster..who is an Italian greyhound /beagle mix had been exposed to human toothpaste...it gave him a severe fever, horrible muscle aches...and made him really really sick...

Yeah I just got some toothpaste from our vet...Beckham thinks it's a treat and tries to eat my finger while I'm brushing his teeth.  He loves it, I've also heard that dogs/puppies love the vanilla mint flavored pet toothpaste?  Never tried it myself.
When I'm brushing my teeth before bed (while sitting on my bed) Beckham pops a squat right in front of me, looks at me with his big brown eyes and then will 'shake' my forearm until i rub some toothpaste on his nose.  He loves it and always tries to get some from me.  I never give him more than a tiny itty bitty streak on his nose and so far no issues, but I guess I better stop if it could make him sick.

A small amount should not hurt.  Possible upset stomach.  A larger amount can make them very sick, they can not handle the flouride that is in human toothpaste. You did not say when it was done but if it has been more then 24 hours and the pup is not feeling bad you should be okay....

 

[Guest]

Just an update. He is fine.  Did not make him sick at all.  Thanks for all the feedback!
