🦷 Pet Dental Care Myths – BUSTED!

Think bones are good for your dog’s teeth? Or that bad breath is normal?
Here are 4 common myths that might be putting your pet’s dental health at risk:

1️⃣ Dry food cleans teeth – Most kibble is too soft to remove plaque. It can even get stuck and cause decay.
2️⃣ Bad breath is normal – It’s usually a sign of bacteria, gum disease or tooth decay.
3️⃣ Dogs don’t need their teeth brushed – Brushing daily with pet-safe toothpaste is the gold standard.
4️⃣ Bones are great for dental health – Hard bones can cause tooth fractures, gum injury and choking (especially cooked ones).

Your pet’s teeth deserve better. Brushing, regular check-ups and safe chews go a long way.

What your pet eats can affect how they feel.

Poor nutrition doesn’t just impact physical health — it can also contribute to anxiety, nervousness, and behavioural changes.

Make sure your pet’s diet supports their brain and body. Ask your vet if you’re unsure what's best for them.
