🦷 5 tips for healthy teeth in dogs & cats

 

Healthy teeth are crucial for the well-being of dogs and cats.
These simple tips can help you effectively prevent dental problems.

 

1️⃣ Regular dental care

Ideally, teeth should be brushed daily, but at least several times a week – using a special pet toothbrush and toothpaste. Regular human toothpaste is unsuitable and can be harmful.

2️⃣ Pay attention to warning signs

Bad breath, reddened gums, tartar, or increased salivation are not "signs of aging," but rather indicators of dental disease. If detected early, many problems can be treated effectively.

3️⃣ Suitable food & chew treats

High-quality food, dental care snacks, or special chew toys can help reduce plaque. Important: They do not replace dental care, but are a useful supplement.

4️⃣ Regular veterinary check-ups

Teeth and gums should always be examined during a health check. This allows for the early detection of inflammation, loose teeth, or tartar.

5️⃣ Professional teeth cleaning

If tartar has already formed, only a professional dental cleaning by a veterinarian will help. This protects against painful inflammation and subsequent diseases of the heart, liver, or kidneys.
