Why dog teeth cleaning and brushing is crucial


Dental disease is a common problem in our pets and can lead to a variety of health issues. It is s=esstimated that 80% of dogs over the age of 3 years suffer from some degree of periodontal disease. Every time a dog with periodontal disease chews, bacteria are showered into bloodstream, which then lodges in the kidneys, liver, and heart causing damage and disease.

Additionally, fractured teeth, feline resorptive lesions, and tooth root abscesses are painful and can act as a constant source of discomfort for your dog. Here are a few steps you can take to help maintain the dental health of your dog.

  1. Start brushing your dog's teeth early
  2. Make dog tooth brushing a regular Affair
  3. Buy product with VOCH seal
  4. Use dental dog food between brushings
  5. Schedule regular dental checkups with your Vet
