When it comes to your pet’s health, dental care often gets overlooked. But just like us, pets can suffer from plaque buildup, gum disease, and painful tooth infections. These issues can lead to more serious health problems if left untreated, affecting your pet’s heart, kidneys, and overall quality of life.

At Goodna Vet, we believe prevention is key. Our team has put together a few simple, vet-recommended tips to help you stay on top of your pet’s dental health all year long.

1. Brush Their Teeth Regularly

Yes, it’s possible to brush your dog or cat’s teeth at home. It might take some getting used to, but with patience and a pet-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste, it can become part of your routine. Aim for a few times a week, or daily if your pet tolerates it.

2. Use Dental Chews and Toys

Dental chews and toys aren’t just for fun, they help reduce plaque and keep your pet’s teeth cleaner between vet visits. Look for products with the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) seal of approval to make sure they’re effective.

3. Schedule Regular Dental Checkups

Even with at-home care, professional dental checkups are essential. We check for hidden issues below the gumline, perform thorough cleanings, and take dental x-rays when needed to make sure nothing is missed.

4. Watch for Warning Signs

If your pet has bad breath, difficulty eating, red or bleeding gums, or pawing at their mouth, it could be a sign of dental disease. Don’t wait, book a dental exam to catch problems early before they become more serious.

5. Stick to a Routine

Good dental care isn’t a one-time fix. Brushing, dental chews, healthy diets, and regular vet visits all work together to keep your pet’s teeth and gums in great shape.
