Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health issues in cats and dogs? Over 80% of pets over the age of three have some form of dental disease, which can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
Why It Matters: Dental disease doesn’t just cause bad breath; it can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even affect your pet’s overall health. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and impact vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Signs to Watch For:
🔍 Bad breath
🔍 Yellow or brown teeth
🔍 Red or bleeding gums
🔍 Drooling or dropping food
🔍 Pawing at the mouth
🔍 Changes in eating habits
Prevention Tips: ✨ Regular vet check-ups: Annual dental exams are crucial. ✨ Daily brushing: Use a pet-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste. ✨ Dental chews and toys: They can help reduce plaque and tartar. ✨ Healthy diet: Provide a balanced diet to support oral health.
