Pet Dental Health Starts at Home

It is well known that oral care is vital for general health among humans, but did you know that it is just as important for your furry friend? Just like us, our pets can develop tartar and plaque build up. This not only causes bad breath but can also lead to more serious problems such as Periodontal Disease, Endodontic Disease, and more. Periodontal Disease is the most common clinical condition in pets even though it is preventable. If left untreated, these diseases can spread to the heart, kidneys, and other important organs and become life threatening. Don’t let this preventable problem affect your pets, practice routine dental cleanings in the comfort of your own home.

 Cleaning your pets’ teeth does not need to be a difficult process; starting at a young age and associating positive feelings with this daily routine can make the experience enjoyable for both you and your pet.

Take the time to look at the many different options available for your pets’ oral health. From toothbrushes to dental bones, the pet industry has a wide array of options to keep your pets’ teeth and gums healthy.  Using these oral health products will not only benefit your pets general health but will also benefit your wallet.

By cleaning your pets’ teeth daily you can prevent a costly problem. According to a 2013 analysis by VPI Pet Insurance, “the average cost to prevent dental disease in pets is $171.82, but it costs $531.71 to treat dental disease.”

The oral health of our pets is important in more ways than one. Prevent disease and dent in your wallet by cleaning your pets teeth everyday.
