The Top Dental Care Tips for Dogs

Just like humans, dogs require ongoing medical care, which includes dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, up to 80% of dogs will experience periodontal disease by the age of three.

Dental hygiene in dogs doesn’t just mean keeping their breath fresh. Poor oral health affects all aspects of their wellbeing and can lead to heart, liver, and kidney disease when left untreated. It’s not all bad news, though–there are several simple yet effective ways to keep diseases and tooth decay at bay.

Brush Frequently with Canine Toothpaste

Not all dog breeds are alike, so some may need more maintenance than others. However, brushing 2-3 times a week is a good goal. Using canine toothbrushes is a plus, but canine toothpaste is a must. The fun flavors, like beef or chicken, will have your dog looking forward to the experience.

Buy Doggie Dental Chews

These snack sticks will keep your dog occupied while fighting plaque and tartar at the same time. They also boost blood flow in the gums and help keep your pup’s pearly whites shiny.

Visit your Veterinarian Frequently

We recommend getting professional dental cleanings when recommended by your veterinarian to maintain optimal oral health for your pet. In addition to clearing out hard-to-reach plaque, regular visits will detect more serious problems early on. Veterinarians also use x-rays to make sure your dog’s tooth roots and bone structure are healthy.

For more details on dental care for your specific dog breed, contact your veterinarian.
