A healthy smile isn’t just for humans—your pet’s dental care is essential to their overall well-being! This February, in honor of Pet Dental Health Month, The Doggy Machine is here to help you keep your furry friend’s teeth clean, strong, and pain-free.
Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3? Don’t worry—here are 5 simple tips to maintain their dental health and prevent problems down the road:
1. Brush Their Teeth Regularly 🪥🐶🐱
Brushing your pet’s teeth a few times a week can make a huge difference. Use a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste (never human toothpaste!) to gently clean their teeth. If your pet resists at first, start slow and make it a positive experience.
💡 Pro Tip: Incorporate teeth brushing into your routine after meals or during playtime to make it feel less intimidating.
2. Offer Dental-Friendly Treats and Chews 🍖✨
Chewing helps naturally clean your pet’s teeth by reducing plaque buildup. Look for dental treats or rawhide alternatives approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) to support oral hygiene.
3. Schedule Professional Cleanings 🦷🛁
Regular professional cleanings are vital to remove tartar buildup and check for any signs of gum disease. At The Doggy Machine, we offer anesthesia-free dental cleanings to keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy without the stress of sedation.
4. Provide Chew Toys 🐾🦴
Hard rubber or dental-specific chew toys are a fun and effective way to support your pet’s dental health. They can help scrape away plaque while giving your pet a healthy outlet for chewing.
5. Keep an Eye Out for Warning Signs 🚨❗
Watch for symptoms of dental issues, including:
• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Difficulty eating or chewing
• Red, swollen gums
• Discolored or broken teeth
If you notice any of these, contact your vet for a checkup.
