Our pets are stuck with their teeth for life, so it’s important to take good care of them.. Of course, if your pet tolerates the old-fashioned brush and paste method that’s fantastic. If not, there are other ways that will take the grind out of pet dental care!
1. Dental treats & chews
These dental treats are proven to clean dogs’ teeth by fighting both plaque and tartar buildup, freshening breath, and maintaining healthier teeth and gums. Plus, they come in delicious flavours that your pet will love and beg you for on a daily basis! You can even make their breath smell like blueberries!
2. Chew toys
Designed with ridges and textures to target plaque buildup on teeth, these toys are great for natural chewers and also provide some relaxation time for them to indulge their primal instincts.
3. Dental solutions
A quick addition to drinking water is all it takes to make a difference to your pet’s dental health. Available in different flavours, products such as Healthy Mouth are proudly 100% free of alcohol, artificial or synthetic ingredients.
4. Raw bones
Raw bones are a great way to keep your pet’s teeth in top shape and completely satisfies their love of chewing. Make sure the size is appropriate for their breed as you do not want it to become lodged in their throat or have trouble chewing something that is far too big for them.
5. Dental diets
Giving your pet a healthy diet is important to keeping their over wellbeing in top shape, and that includes their dental health, but to go that extra step there are diets specifically designed for dental health. These are nutritionally balanced and promote oral health and fresh breath. Please note, you should always talk with us before you change your pet’s diet.
6. Tooth wipes
A simple cloth is all that is needed for this one. If you can, simply run it along their teeth to remove plaque, tartar and bacteria from their mouth and improve their oral health instantly!
7. Dental sprays & rinses
Dental sprays are quick and easy. Simply lift up their lips and spray along their teeth, especially on their most affected teeth to reduce and prevent tartar build-up and freshen their breath!
