When you are at the grocery store buying food for your family for the week, you look at the nutrition labels to determine if the item is high in calories, sodium, fat, etc. You also look at the ingredients to make sure they are good for you. Do you do the same when looking for food and treats for your pets? Pets need good quality food too. Eating a healthy, natural diet will extend the life of your pets and they will be happier too. Their coat and skin will be softer, breath will be fresher, shedding will decrease and more! Imagine if you ate Fast Food every day for every meal for years, you wouldn’t be feeling to healthy either…and you would probably be overweight and out of shape too. Think of the lower quality pet food as their fast food.

So why is dental care important for pets?

Most of us see the benefit of daily brushing, twice yearly cleanings, and regular dental X-rays for ourselves. And though dogs don’t eat the wide range of cavity-causing foods we enjoy, they need regular dental care for many of the same reasons we do:

  • To prevent the build-up of plaque, tartar, and calculus
  • To check for and prevent gingivitis and gum disease
  • To look for trauma, such as broken or fractured teeth
  • To inspect for developmental or orthodontic problems
