Why is Pet Dental Care Important?
Pet dental care is much more than just fixing bad breath. It is as crucial for pets as it is for humans. Most pet parents believe that dental problems are subject to adult and senior dogs. However, it is found that every 8 out of 10 dogs in Australia beyond the age of three suffer from dental problems. In another survey, it was estimated that only 2% of dog owners follow a daily oral care routine despite the recommendations of their vet.
Those pet parents who overlook dental care regimen of their pets might not be aware of the fact that it may not only cause tartar and plaque buildup, but its consequences may be pretty serious. Poor oral hygiene in pets may lead to larger health issues like heart disease, liver disease, and kidney disease.
