It’s been estimated that 85% of dogs over the age of four have periodontal disease. That’s a lot of affected dogs! Luckily, you can help reduce the risk of periodontal disease by brushing your dog’s teeth.
Since periodontal disease can start so young, it’s important to start brushing your pet’s teeth at “puppyhood”. Yep, that’s right, you need to start brushing your puppy’s teeth! Prevention is the best remedy for periodontal disease so get your puppy a toothbrush and go to town. better yet, use an all-in-one convenient pack such as the adorable Petosan Puppy pack dental kit for Puppies and Dogs. The pack includes a double-headed perfect-sized toothbrush for your puppy’s mouth, toothpaste and even a finger cloth to loosen plaque and tartar buildup. If you are wondering why you may need a double-headed toothbrush, it’s because double-headed brushes really get into hard-to-reach places, which dislodges food particles before they can develop into harmful bacteria.
Brushing your puppy’s teeth doesn’t have to be a chore, he or she just has to get used to the routine. Here’s a tip: put a little dab of the toothpaste on your finger and let your pet lick it off. This helps ease your pooch into brushing.
Just like humans, dogs need a good teeth scrubbing too! So don’t just wait until your beloved pooch gets older, start him or her early on a dental care regimen so you can stop dental disease before it even starts.
