How to feed a weaned puppy

First, you need to train your Schnauzer to accept the habit of brushing his teeth. At first you can use your fingers to gently caress the Schnauzer's gums.
At first, just wipe the outside. Once your Schnauzer has completely adapted to this behavior, you can open its mouth to wipe the inside of its gums at the same time.
If the Schnauzer is used to it, you can wrap your fingers with gauze to brush the Schnauzer dog’s gums.
Then you can use some toothpaste specially formulated for pets and cannot be used by humans.
After repeating this for a few weeks, your Schnauzer dog will naturally be happy to accept a pet toothbrush with soft bristles made of artificial fibers. Put the toothbrush between the teeth and gums at a 45-degree angle, and rotate it in thin circles on the teeth.
Then brush up and down to remove the tartar from between the teeth. Repeat this step until the tooth surface is clean.
Brushing the inside of the teeth will be more difficult because your dog will resist opening his mouth wider, but eventually you should be able to brush both the inside and outside of the teeth. Remember to brush twice a week to keep it clean.
