Maintaining the health of your pet’s teeth is vital to preventing gingivitis, cavities, and other harmful diseases. When tartar and plaque accumulate on your pet’s teeth, it is possible for bacteria from these accumulations to enter the blood stream. This often causes many problems, including liver, kidney, and even heart damage. For this reason, we recommend regular dental cleanings.
In between professional dental cleanings, there are numerous steps you can take to help maintain your pet’s teeth. Some preventative measures you can take at home include:
>Brushing your pet’s teeth. We carry a variety of pet-friendly, enzymatic toothpaste in palatable flavors such as poultry and malt;
>Feeding your pet a dental friendly diet and dental friendly treats. We stock a variety of products that are specially formulated to protect your pet’s teeth. Feel free to ask which products would best fit your pet’s needs;
>Applying protective products to your pet’s teeth. There are many products that help to protect the teeth and assist with plaque and tarter prevention. Some of these products include CET Oral Rinse, which is similar to a mouthwash, and OraVet, which is a sealant applied directly over your pet’s teeth. These products, along with others, can help maintain your pet’s dental health.
