    • ]]>     Just like humans, our pets need to have a good dental care program. This should include oral exams during regular visits to the veterinarian. Dental cleaning should be conducted by a professional dog caregiver. At home, pet dental health care should also be practiced. Home oral care includes routine examinations of your dog’s mouth and brushing her teeth.

    There are warning signs that will point to a pet’s poor dental health. Bad breath, red and swollen gums, a yellow-brown crust of tartar around the gum line and pain or bleeding are signs that your dog needs dental care. Some pet toys have the property of helping maintain dental health. Rope toys and rawhide chips help remove dental plaque. Be sure to choose toys that are safe to use. Do not use abrasive toys as they can wear down the teeth.
