Good Dental Health is Important for Your Pet
Why is good pet dental health as important as good dental health for you? Plaque and tartar accumulate 5 times faster in animals than in humans! Did you know that one milligram of dental plaque contains over 1 trillion bacteria? If left untreated, that plaque and tartar leads to periodontal disease and can mean pain, bad breath, and tooth loss for your pet.
Chronic infection in the oral cavity can spread harmful bacteria to the bloodstream and infect the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Once your pet's teeth are cleaned, most periodontal disease can be prevented by daily plaque removal and regular professional care.
