Did you know 80% of dogs and 85% of cats over the age of 3 have some sort of dental disease? Could your pet be one of them? If you’re not sure, why not take advantage of our FREE Dental Health consultations.
Cats and dogs are more prone to dental disease than us humans, as not only is their saliva more alkaline than ours, making them prone to plaque formation, they also don’t brush their teeth! We all know prevention is better than cure so ideally tooth brushing (although as pet owners ourselves, we know this isn’t always possible!) or additives to food, such as Plaque Off, along with dental chews and diets are useful to prevent dental disease from taking hold.
For any preventative treatment to work effectively, it may be best to start with a scale and polish, this is something we can offer advice on during your pet’s dental check-up.
If plaque, and eventually tartar, becomes too advanced it can lead to painful gingivitis or inflammation of the gums, and even tooth loss. We all know how painful toothache can be, and because our pets can’t tell us if it hurts, it is really important to monitor our four-legged friends for subtle signs of dental issues, such as reluctance or difficulty eating, apparent loss of appetite, or bad breath.
