Dental care
Dogs and cats very commonly have dental disease. This is because they use their mouths to eat every day but do not clean their teeth in the same way we do. Consequently plaque and calculus build up on the teeth over a period of time leading to gum disease, infection, pain and tooth loss. The degree to which this happens can be reduced by a proper diet, brushing the teeth if possible, and dental treatment, including extractions when necessary. Certain small breeds of dog are more likely to develop dental disease. Also protect the teeth from damage by not feeding bones and hard nylon chews. Brush your pet's teeth daily with special pet toothpaste
