Fact: The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) reports 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some kind of oral disease by the age of three. It’s one of the most common problems faced by our four-legged family members.
A dog’s fur isn’t the only thing that needs brushing. Many people don't know that pets also need their teeth cleaned as often as humans do to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which is known as Periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is described in two stages: Gingivitis and Periodontitis. Gingivitis is the inflammation or swelling of the gums and Periodontitis is the infection in the gums. When the teeth gets to this stage and not treated, it weakens the support structure of the teeth.
Dental care plays a critical part in their overall health. Not only is it beneficial to your pet's long term health, but it keeps your pet's mouth clean and fresh! So we will always be ready for those sweet kisses. Occasionally, a dental treat would help, but it's always best to brush their teeth. It's never too late to get into a daily dental routine. If you realize the plaque is not coming off or you have a dog with a very bad breath, it's time to take your pet into the vet for a professional dental cleaning.
