Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental issues before the age of THREE?
In fact, The American Veterinary Dental Collage states “Periodontal disease is the most common clinical condition occurring in adult dogs and cats, and is entirely preventable.”
Pet dental health can be easy to neglect, but it is so important to get into the habit of caring for their teeth. If you start preventative care now, you may save your dog some suffering and yourself some cash. Make sure to talk to your vet about this issue. The two of you can work together to develop an acceptable at-home dental care regime.
For further information, such as how to begin brushing your cat’s teeth, don’t miss this article. They state that many cats will let you brush their teeth if you introduce them to it gradually. Just let them check out the kitty tooth brush for a while first and go from there.
Did any of the information in this infographic surprise you or confirm that your pet already has a dental issue? Some of the symptoms were a surprise to me, like weight loss and loss of appetite.
