Dental Pet Health

Let's brush up on the basics! A daily routine can see improvements in breath, gum, and teeth health--and also help prevent future issues.

Veterinarians estimate that more than 85% of dogs over three years old suffer from periodontal disease. Examples range from mild bad breath and plaque formation to severe tartar buildup. In later stages, periodontal disease can be the source of bacterial infections, severe pain, abscesses and tooth loss.

Preventative dental care reduces the likelihood your dog will develop severe periodontal disease and need professional cleanings or dental surgery, while keeping your dog's breath fresh.

Dental Treats

Treats can be a great way to help improve your cat's dental health. Soft treats help stimulate your cat's gums and increase saliva production—which breaks down bacteria. Crunchy treats abrade the surface of the teeth and remove plaque.

While most chew treats offer the benefits of removing tartar and plaque from teeth, there are other benefits as well. Some treats stimulate and massage the gums, as well as reducing any inflammation, which contributes to ongoing canine oral health.
