February Pet Dental Health month- Let’s talk through tooth brushing for your pooch!! 1. Start by choosing a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste, as it can be harmful to dogs. Opt for toothpaste designed specifically for dogs. 2. Introduce the toothbrush to your dog by letting them sniff and lick it. This helps them get familiar with the object. 3. Gradually acclimate your dog to having their mouth touched. Gently lift their lips and touch their teeth with your fingers to get them used to the sensation. 4. Apply a small amount of dog toothpaste to the toothbrush. Allow your dog to taste the toothpaste, making the experience more enjoyable. 5. With one hand, lift your dog's lip to expose their teeth. Use the other hand to brush their teeth gently in a circular or back-and-forth motion. 6. Focus on the outer surfaces of the teeth, especially the back molars where plaque tends to accumulate. Pay extra attention to the gum line. 7. Be patient and calm throughout the process. If your dog seems uncomfortable, take breaks and offer positive reinforcement, like treats or praise. 8. Aim to brush your dog's teeth 2-3 times per week for optimal oral health. Consistency is key to maintaining good dental hygiene in dogs. Remember, if you encounter resistance or your dog is not comfortable with the process, consult with your veterinarian for additional guidance or alternative dental care options.

Tomorrow is the February Bank Holiday!! 😻😻 Our emergency service arrangements will be in place until Tuesday morning when we will reopen at 9am! Have a lovely day! ❤️ #CloyneVetClinic

Monday Madness! Did you ever get licked by a cat? And it felt rough, almost like sandpaper? This is why!! The reason a cat’s tongue is so rough is due to all the backwards facing spines (or papillae) that run along it. These papillae have all sorts of fantastic uses: -In the wild they are used for stripping meat from bones, allowing them to extract the maximum nutrition from their prey in the most quick and efficient way. -They are responsible for the ingenious way that cats drink. Rather than putting their whole mouth into water, cats put their tongue in the water and lift it up and down very quickly. The papillae on their tongues pull water up from the surface, creating a column that the cat then closes their mouth around. -The slightly less obvious use for a rough tongue is that it makes for the perfect hairbrush. When a cat uses their tongue to lick their fur they are, in effect, brushing themself. The backwards facing positioning of the spines on the tongue act like a comb as they pass through the fur, detangling and cleaning away loose fur and dirt as they go. A very effective way of self-cleansing! #cloynevet #cloynevetclinic #welovecats #welovecatsandkittens #vetnurselife #catsofinstagram
