Just like us, our pets' teeth need to be taken care of on a normal basis as well. And, tooth be told, who doesn't love a good smile?
Whether you're at the vet or at home, there are plenty of ways to care for your pet's pearly whites to help them have the healthiest smile possible! Here are a few ways you can do just that:
- Brush their teeth. Yup, the same way we do! Get your pet a toothbrush and some toothpaste specifically made for them and get brushing. This can take some getting used to, so ease them into the routine. Start by brushing just a few teeth for a few seconds, then gradually work your way through brushing all teeth.
- Give them a (dental) treat approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. The Council collects data showing that these approved treats actually work to decrease tartar accumulation. There are plenty of great dental treats out there that may be a little more enjoyable (and more appreciated) by your furry friend.
- Choose a chew approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. There are numerous options when it comes to chews, but the act of chewing or gnawing can actually do a great job at keeping your pet's teeth clean and healthy.
- Dental Procedures. Bringing your pet in for a dental procedure is a great way to promote a healthy smile. During your appointment, your vet can check for anything in your pet's mouth that may need some extra care or attention while doing the cleaning. Speaking of procedure— our Dental Days promotion is happening now, so it's a great time to book. See the link in our bio for details or give us a call with any questions!
