Did you know dental treats and toys can reduce plaque buildup on your pet's teeth?

The simple mechanical action of chewing can reduce plaque buildup, and some dental treat products contain anti-tartar ingredients. If your pet chews through their edible treats too quickly, non-edible dental chew toys may be a good choice for your pet!

Ask our team about about the right dental treats and chew toys.

It’s an unfortunate fact that nearly 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have periodontal disease by the age of 3. Many pets don’t display signs of problems even though they are in pain, so getting your pet used to having their teeth brushed is good for their health and wellness.

While it’s best to teach your pet to accept toothbrushing while they are still young, adult dogs and cats can be trained. It may take a little longer, but it’s worth the effort. Associating rewards with the sessions, before, during and after, can help keep dental care a positive event.

What do I need to know about periodontal disease and my dog?

Periodontal disease is the most common problem affecting dogs of all age groups. Diseases that affect the gums can cause pain and infection, in addition to causing the teeth to fall out. Periodontal disease can also have a secondary effect on major organs, causing or exacerbating organ system diseases. The very best way to prevent periodontal disease is daily dental home care.

The importance of daily dental home care cannot be over-emphasized. If you are having trouble accomplishing dental home care, our veterinary health care team is ready to help.

How do I brush my pet’s teeth?

Your veterinary team can demonstrate proper brushing techniques for your pet. In most cases, it is sufficient to brush the outer edges of the teeth. Your veterinarian can also supply you with the proper cleaning supplies. All you need is:

A soft toothbrush. There are special brushes designed for pets, an alternative is a soft fingertip brush.

Palatable pet toothpaste. Do not use toothpaste designed for humans as it may contain ingredients that are not safe for pets.

Treats. Choose a treat that your pet does not need to chew but can lick easily, such as a dab of cream cheese or yogurt.
