4 Tips for Preventive Dentistry

Food

The mechanical action of chewing a dental formula food, combined with enzymatic and antibacterial action, makes it the diet of choice for preventing tartar, gingivitis and bad breath.

Tooth Brushing

Use a pet toothpaste that's safe to swallow. What could be better than a chicken or seafood flavor to make brushing your pet's teeth easier!

Toys

Some chew toys are designed to add toothpaste, allowing the dog to have fun while letting the toothpaste do its work.

Treats

In our stores, you'll find a wide variety of treats with properties specially designed for dental prevention.

Despite all this good care, over the years your pet will develop enough tartar to warrant scaling. Ask your veterinarian if scaling is recommended now!

When scaling, your vet will use the same tools as your dentist to thoroughly clean and polish all surfaces of the teeth and under the gums.

Tartar, 80% bacteria, is a frequent source of infection. By offering your pet the right preventive care, you'll be able to keep him longer and give him a better quality of life.
