Dental Health: Why Your Pet’s Teeth Matter More Than You Think

Bad breath is often the first sign of a problem, not just a nuisance. Plaque turns into tartar within days, and the bacteria underneath it inflame the gums and can affect the heart, liver and kidneys.

Brushing a few times a week with an enzymatic pet toothpaste is the single most effective habit. Dental chews and special diets help, especially for pets that won’t accept a toothbrush.

Senior pets need extra attention: a yearly dental check-up lets us spot loose or painful teeth early, before your pet stops eating properly. Book a dental check and we’ll show you how to brush at home.
