Several Vet groups/associations have collaborated to declare a month where focus is made on our pet's oral care. They address the importance of regular oral care on from the pet owner, which includes a routine of brushing, examing their teeth, and regular oral exams by a veterinarian Because our pets cannot brush their own teeth, it is our responsibility to make it a routine as we would our own teeth. We are always out there in search of the cutest latest outfit, the best grooming prouducts, so try this amazing product if you haven't already done so.

"According to the American Veterinarian Dental Society, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three, often indicated by bad breath, a change in eating or chewing habits, pawing at the face and mouth and depression. Besides causing receding gums and tooth loss, the infection may enter the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, liver and kidneys.

"Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets," said Dr. Henry Childers, DVM, president of the AVMA. "Just as the public has come to realize that their own oral health is linked to their overall health, veterinarians want people to understand that dental health care is essential to maintaining the overall health and well-being of the family pet."

Bacteria, combined with saliva and food debris between the tooth and gum, can cause plaque formulations on the tooth, which turns to tartar. If not removed from the teeth, pockets of infection may appear along the gum line, separating the teeth from the gum. If untreated, this disease, called periodontitis, can lead to tooth loss and the infection caused by the disease may enter the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, liver and kidneys."[/i]
