Pet Tooth Care
You may not know this, but cats and dogs need to take care of their teeth
too. But they cant do it on their own, so they need your help. Without
proper dental care, over 70% of dogs and cats show signs of oral disease by
the age of 3. These oral problems go way beyond bad breath and can lead to
more serious problems with their hearts, livers and kidneys. Here are some
ways you can make sure your pets teeth stay healthy.
- Take your pet to the
veterinarian for a dental check-up at least once a year.
- Practice regular dental
care at home with your pets. Brush your puppy or kittens teeth with
special pet toothpaste, starting when they are young. This way, your pets
will get used to brushing at an early age. But dont use your human
toothpaste, as it may upset your pets tummy! If your pet doesnt
seem to like any of the toothpaste flavors, try adding a bit of garlic powder
to lukewarm water and use that to moisten the brush - they love garlic.
- If you are going to
give you pet a treat - we recommend a biscuit. The abrasive action in chewing
the biscuit will help keep their teeth well-scrubbed and clean.
Did you know that animals
can have braces too?
Animal teeth are usually arranged "shoulder to shoulder" so that
a natural cleaning takes place to push food away from the teeth and gums.
If these teeth are not aligned properly, it can lead to pain, infection and
eventual serious periodontal disease. Braces, very similar to those used for
humans, can be used to correct these misalignments of teeth. Fortunately,
for animals, the process only takes a few months.
