That's a little extreme. My gums bleed sometimes when I brush my teeth to hard. If your dog is chewing on something hard it may cause some bleeding. If it's gushing out blood that's another story.

I agree with Captbob. If my dogs gums were bleeding it would be in the car and off to the vet. I've never heard of a dogs gums bleeding when they chew on anything.

Bleeding gums when you brush your teeth is usually and indicator that you either have periodontal disease, or are developing it. Might run it by your dentist.

I've been to my dentist. He explained to me that since I don't floss every single day my gums are pretty week and that causes the bleeding. Besides that my teeth are perfectly healthy thanks.

captbob, if your gums were bleeding, would you go to the doctors? probably not, and just so you know I am not trying to be mean, I am trying to make a point. If my dogs gums continued to bleed alot, yes then she would be at the vet, but if it was a little bit of blood on her bone, I would lok at her teeth myself to make sure her teeth and gums look fine rather than spending my moms money at the vet, the vet would probably consider me way over protective going to get her gums checked when they started to bleed a lil bit. I highly doubt a dog would die over a little bit of blood coming from a gum, when I brush my teeth, sometimes my gums get a little bit of blood, because my gums are sensitive.
