Taking Care of your dogs teeth

Believe it or not, taking care of your dog's teeth is as important as looking after your own. It is critical for your pet's overall health to have proper dental care. Saliva, bacteria and food particles combine to form plaque that will gradually build up if left on the teeth. Minerals in his saliva will then turn it into tartar, a hard yellowish deposit that accumulates on teeth surfaces. Tartar can irritate gums and lead to gingivitis, which is the beginning of periodontal disease.

Is Bad Breath Normal??
The answer is No! Bad breath, or halitosis, arises when plaque accumulates in your dog's mouth? Plaque will eventually lead to gum disease, so if your dog's breath is offensive, please call in and we will do a full dental check.
