Instructions on Making Homemade Dog Toothpaste
These are simple instructions with a handful of ingredients. Most you’ll have readily available, plus we add in a few optional components like fresh mint leaves and beef/chicken/vegetable bullion. If you’re fortunate enough to have a home garden and are growing fresh parsley and mint, you can easily add these fresh herbs to the paste for an even fresher breath. Let’s make this toothpaste!
- Beef Bullion, or
- Chicken Bullion, or
- Vegetable Bullion
ADDING OPTIONAL FRESH HERBS: Simply combine the ingredients together and let sit for an hour or so to form. If adding mint leaves or parsley (or both), you’ll need to use a food processor to really break down the leaves. Your toothpaste will turn a beautiful green so no need to panic.
ADDING OPTIONAL BEEF OR CHICKEN OR VEGETABLE BULLION: Be sure to break down the bullion cube into powder form. Doing so makes it simpler to add in to the coconut oil to break down.
While we won’t be looking for a meat-flavored breath mint for ourselves anytime soon, this flavor combo makes perfect sense to our pups. Place all ingredients in your blender or food processor and blitz until well-combined. Store this one in the fridge.
February is Pet Dental Health Month, and if you’re anything like us, you’re past the bread baking and whipped coffee phases of quarantine. Learning to DIY homemade dog toothpaste seems like the next logical step. Whip up one of these five tasty homemade dog toothpaste recipes for fresh breath for your couch bud.
These household items clean and freshen stinky moufs for just pennies! In addition to being a natural anti-bacterial product, baking soda’s abrasiveness helps scrub away plaque and tartar. The lauric acid in coconut oil helps kill bacteria (plus it’s heckin’ tasty and shines pup coats). Simply combine and store in an airtight jar or container. This toothpaste can be stored at room temperature. When it’s time for brushies, just about a pea-sized amount will do the trick!

Pet owners are usually great at taking care of their furry companions, but one habit often falls away. Tooth brushing. While most owners are aware of health issues from rotten dog teeth, only eight percent of pet parents brush their dog’s teeth daily.
In their study, IPSOS, a data supplier in Toronto, found that a shocking 43 percent of dog owners have never brushed their dog’s chompers.
Brushing your dog’s canines can be a fun activity that you introduce into their day. If this is something you’ve never tried before, then it’s not too late.
Oral health is vital at every stage of your dog‘s life. Rather than buying dog toothpaste filled with unfamiliar contents, we give you some homemade dog toothpaste recipes with natural ingredients from your pantry.
