Why Pet Dental Health is so Important

You look after your teeth every day and your pet’s smile needs the same attention.

Like you, they can experience pain and bad breath when their mouth isn’t healthy, so here are some reasons to make dental checkups and routines part of your annual health plan.

• Dental disease can lead to heart issues.
• Preventative care from early in their life will save you money in the long term by avoiding surgery and other health problems
• Your pet can’t talk and some are very good at hiding pain. Regular dental checkups will help your vet to find issues before they become too painful
• Bad teeth can cause immense pain before they fall out and possibly cause other health issues

If you ever have questions or concerns about your pet’s teeth, connect with your veterinarian and be proactive instead of reactive. And remember that pet supply stores like Blue Barn offer many fun ways to keep your pet’s mouth healthy including dental toys and treats.
