February is the month that veterinarians try to spread awareness of the importance of dental health for your pet! The number one cause of heart diseases in the adult animals is bacterial infection from periodontal disease.
The best thing we can do for our pet is keep their mouth in good condition.
Here are some different ways on how to do that:
1)Take your pet to the your local vet to have a professional cleaning done.
2) Brush your pet's teeth yourself with a toothpaste made from baking soda. WARNING: do not use human products because fluoride can cause your pet to be sick.
3) Use a special gel that can be applied weekly after a dental cleaning to help keep the teeth protected.
4) There is also a new vaccination that can guard against most common bacteria in the mouth, but does not help with existing pre-conditions.
