“Does your pet have a sparkling
smile?”
(25/04/2003)
We wouldn’t dream of neglecting our own teeth or our children’s – but
unfortunately, many people do not realise how essential regular,
preventative dental care is for their pet.
Pet Smile Month is an initiative to promote awareness of the importance
of oral hygiene for pets.
If a pets teeth are not regularly cleaned and cared for, not only will
the pet have bad breath, but poor oral hygiene can result in:
* Pain with associated loss of appetite and in extreme cases serious
weight loss
* Poor Health – bacteria from inflammation and destruction of gums can
be a primary source of infection resulting in heart, kidney and liver
disease
Vet2Pet lifetime health insurance from leading
pet insurance provider Pinnacle
Pet Healthcare Limited and National Veterinary Services - offers top
tips to combat pet dental disease:
* Ensure that the dog or cat becomes familiar with routine, home dental
care from an early age
* A pets teeth should be brushed every day – tooth brushing every second
day is 60% less effective than daily brushing
* There are various dental diets now available that help break down
plaque and tartar
* Many toys and chews provide a degree of mechanical abrasion which
helps with plaque and tartar removal
* The pet should have at least an annual dental check with a veterinary
surgeon
Vet2Pet provides value for money, lifetime cover against the unexpected
costs of veterinary bills.
What’s more, when owners insure their pet, the policy includes a free
preventive care welcome kit containing dietary, flea and worming
information and samples – plus a Dentipet finger toothbrush and
toothpaste sample.
