February is Pet Dental Month… Keep Your Pet Smiling Pretty.
February
is Pet Dental Month and is a perfect time to remind all pet owners that regular
dental care is crucial to keeping your dog or cat’s healthy. According to Animalleague America studies have
shown that only two-thirds of pet owners provide the veterinarian recommended
oral care for their pets. So, if you are
one of those two-thirds you are obviously not alone. Just like people, dental disease can lead to
many different health issues, including damage to the heart, lungs and kidneys. Preventive dental care is essential to
your pet’s long and healthy life.
Toothbrushing
is the best way to help care for your pet’s oral health. Just like in people brushing teeth will keep
plaque and tartar from building up.
Regular brushing has been found to preventing periodontal disease in
cats and dogs. Brushing your pet’s teeth
can certainly be a difficult task, but well worth the effort. All you need to brush your dog or cat’s teeth
are cotton swabs or gauze, a small toothbrush and toothpaste formulated for dogs
and cats, not people toothpaste. Read more for step by step direction on

show pain, so they are great at hiding it.
So as a pet owner it is important to check teeth and gums on both cats and dogs on a regular bases.
Shopforpaws.com has a great selection of pet supplies including cat and dog oral care products
including, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental chews, dental chew toys, dental sprays, drinking additives, and healthy oral care treats. February is a great time for pet owners to be
reminded about dental care for their dog and cats, so it also a great time to
schedule that veterinarian appointment to get your dog or cat’s teeth
checked. Most veterinarian offices have
a discount for oral care during the month of February, so it is a great time to
have that yearly check up.
