The problem with using homemade treatments is that your dog will swallow it – so you want to avoid the type of things that humans would use in place of toothpaste such as baking soda.
The commercial canine toothpaste has enzymes that help delay the growth of plaque, and this is something you can’t replicate in a home made products. Canine toothpaste is not very expense, and a tube of it lasts a long time, well worth the modest cost.

Your vet should have dog toothpaste for sale, over the counter. Give that a try?
