February is National Pet Dental Health Month, a time to focus on the importance of pets having healthy teeth and gums. Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to keep their teeth and gums in good shape.

Good dental care is essential for keeping your pet healthy and happy. Pets with poor dental health can suffer from gum disease and other painful health problems. Regular dental care can help prevent these issues, and can help keep your pet’s breath fresh.

To celebrate National Pet Dental Health Month, take care of your pet’s teeth and gums. Start by brushing your pet’s teeth every day if possible, or at least a few times a week. You can also use a pet-safe toothpaste and toothbrush. Make sure to use a pet-safe toothpaste, as human toothpaste can be dangerous for pets.

You should also ask your groomer to regularly check your dog’s teeth and do a deep clean service when possible. Dog groomers won’t be able to replace the vet but they can provide deep cleaning service such as ultrasound teeth cleaning for your dog, and they can let you know if it is time to take your dog to the vet for a deeper check. Having your pet’s teeth cleaned regularly is one of the best ways to keep them healthy and prevent any gum and dental diseases.

Finally, make sure to provide your pet with dental chew toys and treats. These can help keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy, as well as providing them with some much-needed entertainment. Some of our favorites are the dental chews treats from Scrumbles and the Dental Support Sausages from The Innocent Hound.

By taking care of your pet’s teeth and gums, you can help them stay healthy and happy. Celebrate National Pet Dental Health Month by giving your pet the dental care they deserve.
