Our little guy used to do that... but not as dramatic. The vet told us we needed to start brushing his teeth more often... and as a bonus his breath is much better also!

Can you tell us your method of brushing, and which products you use?

We use "Vetoquinol Care Enzadent" for toothpaste and "Prosense Dental Solutions wipes" for our pupper. When you first start out, get your dog used to the teeth brushing for a few days; put the toothpaste on the brush and let them lick it. Each time move a little closer to the back teeth. For us, within a few days he was letting us brush his teeth. They love the taste of the toothpaste so it's an easy transition. From there, brush just the outside of their teeth all the way around... As I was told they brush the inside of their teeth with their tongues as they try to lick the toothpaste off their teeth. Once you're confident with that.. maybe a week or two of daily brushing... Try out the wipes. The combination of the two worked best for us, the wipes helped to get rid of most of the yellow. We also let him chew dental (pedigree dentastix) which he loves.

Wow, this is great info. Thank you.

I’d say a vet checkup. A good vet who has a technician for teeth. Could be time to have them cleaned.

My schnauzer will do that occasionally after he eats grass. He gets some grass caught between his teeth.

A bit late, by my mini does that occasionally, usually after a meal or dropping a toy

Mine has done that occasionally - it seems like she has some food stuck in her mouth that she’s trying to loosen. Or when her beard fur gets in her mouth. Does it seem like she’s in pain?
She will do that with the beard but it’s different... not so... jumpy as in the video... she doesn’t look like to be in pain but I checked her teeth and some lookin rough... I wonder if she has pain in her mouth?
Possibly, the poor little thing! Is she having any issues when she eats or drinks? If so, I’d definitely take her to the vet to get looked at. I always wish my fur kiddos could talk so I knew what was wrong. Good luck with your sweet little girl!
She’s not having any issues drinking or eating but I think it would be best to take her to the vet Monday :( my poor baby...
