Pet dental health is often neglected but plays a fundamental role in overall well-being. Bacterial plaque and tartar can cause painful inflammation and even heart problems.
Common diseases
More than 80%% of animals over three years old have some degree of periodontal disease. These conditions can cause pain when chewing and even spread bacteria to the bloodstream.
Brushing techniques
Use brushes and toothpaste specifically made for pets. Ideally, get the animal used to it from puppyhood, starting with gentle touches on the gums and gradually introducing the brush.
Dental consultations
Regular consultations complete the care routine. The veterinarian may recommend professional cleanings to remove tartar below the gum line.
