Preventive Dog Health

Taking care of your dog's teeth offers many health benefits.
An estimated 80% of all dogs suffer from oral disease.
Keep your pooch's teeth and gums healthy by scheduling annual dental visits and cleaning your dog's teeth at least three times per week at home.
You also can give him/her a rawhide treat, dental chew or bone to help maintain a healthy smile

BARF feeding can also greatly reduce the build up of plaque on you dogs teeth.

Teaching your dog to be still for weekly home cleaning can ge a hastle, we recommend starting as a pup with cleanings at least twice weekly.
Some treats can also be good canine cleaners, be careful though, for many are not easily digested and can cause more severe health problems including death.
