DENTAL CARE

Along with a healthy diet, exercise, and regular grooming, oral hygiene is also a crucial element in preventing health risks such as bad breath and dental diseases. Maintaining your pet’s dental hygiene is not difficult and can be as simple as giving them dry food and chew toys. There are a variety of dry pet foods and other products to promote healthy teeth and gums for your pet so think about how your pet’s current diet is affecting their dental health. Most pet stores offer dry pet food for small to large breeds, pets on weight control, and baby animals as well as mature pets. Visit our links page to check out some products online. Try out a few different brands to see which one your pet likes best or as a professional.

If you see any of the following, take your pet in for a dental check-up with the veterinarian:

• Bleeding gums
• Unusually bad breath or drooling
• Loose teeth
• Inflamed gums
• Loss of appetite
