Tap for sound 🔊 Did you know that untreated dental disease in pets can lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream, affecting vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver? Keeping up with your pet’s dental health isn’t just about fresh breath—it’s about protecting their overall health! 🦷
🩺 Dr. Alex recommends consulting with one of our doctors to determine how often your pet needs professional dental cleanings, as frequency depends on your pets’s unique genetics.
🪥 At-home dental care tip: Dr. Alex suggests brushing at least 2x a week and experimenting with different pet-safe toothpaste flavors to see what your pet prefers. Start by using your finger to get them comfortable before transitioning to the brush!
