Oral Hygiene for Dogs and Cats

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by the age of 3.
Prevention and regular brushing are the best ways to prevent your dog or cat from developing an oral disease.


	Use toothpaste formulated for pets. Commercial toothpaste for humans is not formulated to be used for pets. Human toothpaste foams and is not meant to be digested. Pets are less likely to cooperate when human (“minty”) toothpastes are used during the brushing process.

Brush your pet's teeth only with a toothpaste formulated for pets

Brushing reduces your pet's risk for periodontal disease, which is caused by plaque and tartar build-up.


	Try an alternative dental product. If your pet is uncooperative, initially introduce tooth brushing by using an alternative product for the first few weeks. Work your way to a traditional tooth brush once your pet becomes more comfortable with the experience.	Petkin Toothwipes Finger Toothbrush
We have two cocker spaniel pups and they go crazy over the Toothwipes! So the taste apparently is the best. And it is so easy to swipe their teeth to be sure they are clean. And their breath has certainly improved. I definitely recommend this easy-to-use product. - Mary


	Include dental chews, treats, and rinses. By adding a dental rinse, chew, or treat you can help maintain your pet’s oral health and fresh breath. Oral rinses can be added to your pet’s water bowl to kill bacteria. When rewarding your pet, try a dental chew or treat instead of a fatty treat.
