Hey there, fellow dog lovers! Just like us humans, our furry friends need regular medical care, and that includes their pearly whites. Did you know that 80% of dogs experience periodontal disease by age three? Plaque works on dog teeth the same way it works on people teeth. It starts to build up over 24-48 hours. Look at your pup’s gumline, do you see any redness? That’s gingivitis!

Taking care of your pup’s dental hygiene is vital for their overall well-being, not just combating bad breath. Neglecting oral health can lead to serious issues like heart, liver, and kidney disease. But don’t worry, my friends! There are simple yet effective ways to keep those dental problems at bay.

Let’s talk brushing. Find a routine that suits your pup’s needs and aim for 2-3 brushings a week. Canine toothpaste is a game-changer. With flavors like beef or chicken, your doggo will actually enjoy it.

Snack time! Your dog will love dental chews. These chewy delights entertain them while fighting off plaque and tartar. Plus, they promote healthy gums and that irresistible shiny smile.

Regular vet visits are a must! Schedule dental cleanings with your veterinarian. They’ll clear out stubborn plaque and catch any issues early on. X-rays ensure tooth roots and bone structure are in tip-top shape. Dog dentals are the same as people dentals, except we use anesthesia because we can’t ask our dogs to sit still, rinse, spit. The tools are the same! That feeling of fresh clean teeth you feel after you go to the dentist is the same for our doggo friends.

Remember, for personalized tips and advice, reach out to your trusted veterinarian. Keep those tails wagging and those teeth shining bright!
