DENTAL CARE
Dogs and cats need their teeth brushed daily — just like us! When your pet’s mouth is healthy, their teeth are white and gums are attached smoothly to the tooth. Over time, bacteria and food particles build up and if they aren’t brushed away the plaque mineralizes into tartar. That’s the brown/green discolored gunk you see built up on your pet’s teeth! This tartar can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning. If it’s not removed, it gets in between the tooth and bone of the jaw, causing painful periodontal disease. This also is the source of your pet's bad breath!
Once you’ve had the harmful tartar removed from your pet’s teeth, it’s time to start regular home dental care to maintain those pearly whites! Daily teeth brushing is the best way to do this. The fibers of a toothbrush get in-between teeth and under gums where food and bacteria are. Remember, never use a human toothpaste! Dog and cat toothpastes have enzymes that help break-up plaque, but the actual scrubbing motion is needed to remove it.
