Dental Health for your Dog

We all want our dog to be in the best of health, and this means we try to give them enough exercise, feed them well and have them regularly groomed. However, proper dental care is often overlooked. Make sure you have the right pet insurance, to avoid high expenses.

Poor dental health can have disastrous implications on your dogs overall health and well-being, and it is important to make sure you check your dogs teeth and gums regularly. Dogs are not known to have minty fresh breath, but bad breath can be the fist sign of a severe dental problem. Other signs of oral disease may include inflamed gums, loose teeth and excessive drooling.

Dental care for your fur child should begin as soon as possible to ensure your pup has strong, healthy teeth. Ask your vet to teach you how to properly brush your dogs teeth and gums. You should also ask about the best diets that will complement the teeth brushing to improve your dogs oral health, there are also many doggy treats available that help clean teeth and gums. You can then pass on these tips to your dog minder when you go away on holiday.

Making sure your dog has clean teeth is an important step to good overall health, so please make sure you check their teeth regularly and then your dog will enjoy a long healthy life with you!

My name is Felicity Thompson and I grew up on a farm in Swan Hill. As a child, I loved animals and spent most of my free time caring for them. From horses to cats, dogs to sheep, they were all part of my life. My horse was named Sunshine and she was so gentle and kind – even as a young girl she could carry me around with ease! My dog was Max, a loyal and faithful companion who always had my back. I now write articles for pet blogs and websites. I'm passionate about helping people care for their animals in the best way possible – from providing proper nutrition to offering emotional support.
