February Is Pet Dental Health Month
In this article, Dr. Karen Becker, Integrative Wellness Veterinarian of healthypets.mercola.com, talks about why it's important for your pet to have a healthy mouth and teeth, and practical tips and advice to keep them that way!
Story at-a-glance (Pet Oral & Dental Health by Dr. Becker)
- About 80 percent of dogs over the age of 3 have oral disease, typically gum disease
- Plaque and tartar left on your dog’s teeth can lead to gum disease, and gum disease has been linked to heart disease in dogs
- To help prevent oral disease in your dog, feed a species-appropriate diet and offer recreational bones or dental chews, and brush your dog’s teeth every day
- It’s also important to take your dog for regular oral exams with your veterinarian
- With appropriate home care, some dogs will never need a professional tooth cleaning, while other dogs require regular cleanings despite excellent home care
