Why is dental care so important in dogs?
Did you know that around 80 % of all dogs suffer from dental problems ? The topic of dental hygiene is present with us humans every day, and unfortunately it is often underestimated with our four -legged friends. Tartar, inflammation in the mouth or loose teeth can not only cause pain, but even cause serious illnesses. Bacteria from the mouth can get into the bloodstream and damage the heart, liver or kidney. Regular dental care not only protects your dog's bites, but also his general health.
Recognize signs of dental problems in dogs
A dog cannot tell you if his teeth hurt - so you should pay attention to certain signs. Frequent warning signals are:
- Bad breath (the "dog kiss" suddenly smells strictly)
- Increased saliva or even drooling
- Roots, swelling or blood on the gums
- Teeth that appear loose or discolored
If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it's time to visit the vet. Even if your dog has no visible symptoms, you should have a tooth check with your veterinarian maconce a year. Many veterinarians offer this as part of the normal health examination. In some cases - for example with strong tartar - professional tooth cleaning under anesthesia is necessary. This should only be done after careful consideration, but is often unavoidable in older dogs or genetically pre -contaminated breeds.
Dental sticks for healthier teeth and fresh kisses
Yes, you can brush your teeth dogs - and yes, it works! It is best to get your dog used to it in puppy age. But older animals can often be changed with a little patience.

In addition, not every fur nose can be used to this ritual - alternatives are needed.
