The turn of the year is a time of new beginnings for many of us. We resolve to live more mindfully, eat healthier, and create routines that nourish both body and soul. So why not give your dog this fresh start too? After all, he's part of your family and deserves the same loving attention.
A new year always represents change, small steps towards greater well-being and balance. Perhaps dental care has only been discussed at the vet or tried occasionally. Now is the perfect moment to make it a regular routine. A daily grooming ritual that fosters closeness, strengthens trust, and supports your dog's long-term health.
In this article, we'll explain how a good intention can become something lasting: a loving ritual for a healthy, happy new year.
Why now is the right time
A new year always feels a bit like a fresh start. But it's not about starting everything from scratch; it's about consciously nurturing what works and reinforcing good habits. If you start establishing a consistent grooming routine for your dog now, you'll lay the foundation for a healthy, relaxed year. And that applies not only to your dog, but to both of you.
The weeks following the holidays are ideal for establishing new habits. Daily life slowly returns, your mind is clear, and you have the peace and quiet to lovingly create routines. Your dog senses this consistency and quickly gets used to the regular attention.
A gentle dental care routine isn't just good for your pet right now; it's also preventative. Early care can counteract dental problems and costly vet visits throughout the year. And if you're consistent from the start, a new task will soon become a familiar habit, a natural part of your daily life that fosters bonding and maintains health.
This way, the year begins not only with good intentions, but with real, noticeable changes.
Step-by-step into a new skincare routine
The new year is the perfect time to solidify loving habits, especially those that promote health, closeness, and trust. This gentle routine will help you carefully introduce your dog to emmi-pet ultrasonic dental care. approach them and combine them with general hygiene and care.
Weeks 1–2: Gentle acclimatization
Start with curiosity, not pressure. Show your dog our emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush , let him sniff and explore it. Apply a small amount of the special emmi-pet ultrasonic toothpaste to your finger and then reward him with a treat. This way, he'll associate the new experience with something positive.
Start by using the brush without the ultrasonic function, just to introduce it to your dog in a playful way. While you're at it, gently check your dog's fur, paws, and ears. This will help your dog learn that "grooming time" is synonymous with affection and trust.
Weeks 3–4: The gentle introduction
Now you can add the ultrasonic function. Hold the brush against each tooth for a few seconds without scrubbing. The ultrasound will do the work all by itself. Start with short sessions once or twice a week and gradually increase the duration until you have covered all your teeth.
Supplement this routine with a short emmi-pet grooming session once a week and pay particular attention to clean paws after winter walks. A quick entry in your calendar or notebook will help you track your progress and stay on track.
Months 2–3: Establish routine
Once the new grooming routine has become a regular part of your daily life, you can increase dental care to three to four times a week. Combine it with regular coat and paw care to support your dog's overall well-being.
Pay attention to small changes. Fresh breath, relaxed behavior when opening the mouth, or a more groomed appearance show that you're on the right track. And don't forget: praise and affection after each grooming session are the best motivation.
Long-term: Nursing as a heartfelt routine
Turn your good intention into a lasting habit. Whether you resolve to clean your dog's teeth with ultrasound daily or to clean their paws after every walk, consistent rituals build trust and promote health.
Document your progress, perhaps with photos or short notes. This way you can see how your journey together is developing. And even though you can now do a lot yourself, regular vet checkups remain important, as they perfectly complement your care.
This is how a good intention becomes a heartfelt routine.
