Creating a Dental Hygiene Routine for Your Pet

Creating a Dental Hygiene Routine for Your Pet

If you want to keep your pet healthy, then it’s important to pay attention to their dental hygiene. Fortunately, creating a dental hygiene routine for your pet is easier than you might think. Here’s what you need to know. 

Schedule regular dental cleanings for your pet. 

Whether you have a cat or a dog, it’s critical that your pet’s teeth are being cleaned annually by a professional. During the cleaning, your vet will check to make sure that your pet’s oral hygiene is in excellent condition. They will then clean your pet’s teeth in order to remove plaque and tartar. 

Look for warning signs of dental issues. 

You can complement your pet’s dental cleanings by doing regular inspections at home. You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this—you can simply get in the habit of checking your pet’s teeth on a regular basis. 

Brush your pet’s teeth at home. 

It may sound like a major undertaking, but brushing your pet’s teeth regularly can be a simple part of your pet’s dental hygiene routine. Make sure to buy a toothbrush and toothpaste that have been specially designed for your cat or dog’s teeth. You should start off slow and give your pet time to get used to the new procedure.
