All dogs and cats can develop varying degrees of gum and tooth disease by the age of three years . This is because dogs cannot brush their teeth daily to remove all food debris which leads to the build-up of plaque and eventually gum disease and tooth decay. Introducing tooth brushing to your puppy or kitten at a young age in a fun and positive way will give them the best chance of retaining their teeth well into old age, ensuring that they can continue to eat comfortably, enjoy life to the full free from pain and bad breath!
Brushing is best! How to do this...
Dogs and cats will naturally brush their own teeth through the act of chewing. By providing appropriate toys and chews on a daily basis, this will also help with the control of tartar in their mouths. Choose specific dental toys that are strong but flexible and always supervise your pet when they have dental toys and chews.
When an animal arrives in our care at Raystede, we do everything we can to ensure they are healthy, comfortable and given the best possible chance of leading a good life. We couldn't help the amount of animals we do without your support. Please donate today to give brave Mags life-changing treatment.
