Can I use human toothpaste on my dog?

It smells better to you, but it doesn't taste good to the dogs. They don't like that foamy, frothy stuff that happens with the toothpaste. You need to use pet toothpaste for the pet so that, when they swallow it, it will not bother them. And some of the human toothpastes have xylitol in them, which can be fatal to a pet in high enough quantities.

We don't want to use human toothpaste because the dogs will be ingesting the toothpaste when we put it on their teeth, and human toothpaste can be toxic. They're not meant to be ingested. They can have xylitol in it, so stay away from human toothpaste.

No, human toothpaste is not meant to be swallowed, and most dogs will not spit it out for you, so you definitely always want to use dog toothpaste. Most dog toothpaste is flavored with something they're going to like, such as chicken or beef or something like that, so most of the time, it's not mint. It's going to be a flavor that they really enjoy.

No, do not use human toothpaste for your dog. Human toothpaste contains fluoride and sometimes xylitol, both of which can be toxic to dogs when ingested over time. The only safe alternative would be infant toothpaste gels without fluoride. Dog toothpaste is specifically formulated without fluoride and is safe for your pet's use.
