Why do dogs have the cleanest mouths?

Answer 1

Dogs actually have healing properties in their saliva. Some vets are pro and con on this theory, but too many people have proven it's true. When I was young my mom would let our dog lick my scabbed knees and they would heal. Another lady said that when her child was born his ear was nearly ripped off and for months she went to her specialist to try and get the ear to heal, but nothing would work. Finally her wise old mother told her to let the dog lick the ear. Believe it or not the ear healed! We have been misled into believing that dogs are dirty, but, think of this, how do you think dogs healed their wounds when they were once wild! We have become a society of being paranoid over germs and that's just what the manufactuerers of anti-germ products want you to believe. It's time people used their brains instead of buying into this hysteria. As children back in the 40s, 50s and 60s kids shared their ice cream cones with dogs and I can tell you I've NEVER heard of a child being sick from a dog. I am also a believer that dogs should be allowed to sleep with children (not in cribs) because they are also protective of that child.

Answer 2

Well, that's what they say. I don't know if it's really true or not, but they say it is. They say that dogs have stronger defense systems in their mouths than humans do, but if you really think about it, dogs don't brush their teeth unless you do it for them, so you can't really give a yes or no to that question, can you?

Answer 3

It's not that the dogs' mouths are "clean". They simply have different types of bacteria growing inside their mouths, which cannot prosper in a human environment. So in a sense, they are "clean" from bacteria harmful to us, but are in no way free of pathogens as a whole.

Answer 4

no. You cant prove that because all u had to would brush the animal's teeth. It can vary from animal to animal. please recomend

Answer 5
