Until we experience an issue with our pet’s teeth, owners would not be aware that 80% of dogs and 70% of cat’s overs 3 years of age have some form of dental or oral disease.
There are many ways to help prevent dental disease:
Professional dry foods have a dental component within them to encourage the cleaning of tooth surfaces and the gum line.
Hills and Royal Canin both produce specific dental foods. These are preventative dental diets guarding against tartar and gingivitis which also supplies everyday nutrition.
Dentipet paste and brushes allow our pets to have their teeth cleaned in the same manner as we maintain our own teeth. Dentipet comes in beef & chicken flavours which aids in pet’s tolerance with the toothbrush angled for easier access in the mouth. Do not use human toothpaste on your animals.
Greenies Dental Chews are a treat-based cleaning tool given daily that wipe away plaque and tartar build up from the surface of the teeth due to the chewing action. The flexible texture allows teeth to sink into every bite down to the gums f
or effective cleaning. Greenies are accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council for their benefit in dental disease.
