Cats and dogs will experience dental issues due to poor oral hygiene, and there is many ways to address these problems. Regular dental care is essential for a dog’s overall health, just as it is for humans. Here are some steps you can take to help improve your dog’s dental hygiene:
- Regular Brushing: Brush your dog’s teeth regularly with toothpaste specifically designed for dogs. This helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
- Dental Chews: Provide dental chews or toys that are designed to help clean teeth and promote good oral health.
- Professional Cleanings: Schedule regular veterinary check-ups that include dental examinations and give us a call for a non anesthetic dental cleaning.
- Healthy Diet: Feed your dog a balanced diet that supports dental health. Some dog foods are formulated to reduce plaque buildup.
- Monitor Oral Health: Keep an eye on your dog’s teeth and gums. Look for signs of dental issues, such as bad breath, swollen gums, or difficulty eating.
- Encourage Chewing: Chewing can help keep your dog’s teeth clean. Provide safe chew toys that promote dental health.
