Pet Dental Health Goes Way Beyond Doggie and Kitty Breath...

News Canada

What is the chief health issue among our four-legged friends? You may be surprised to know it involves bicuspids, incisors and choppers.

By the age of three, dental issues-including plaque and tartar buildup — are present in approximately 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society. Dental-related concerns are no laughing matter; in fact poor oral hygiene can translate into serious health concerns.

"While oral health concerns are a very real issue for our pets, there are three simple steps pet owners can take to help keep their four-legged friends' teeth clean and healthy," says Dr. Vikki Howard, a veterinarian at The Iams Company. "The 3 Ds: dentistry, diet and daily brushing are the keys to healthy pet smiles."

  • Dentistry — Just like you, all dogs and cats need to have their teeth professionally cleaned. Talk with your veterinarian about your pet's dental health.
  • Diet — Food can make a difference. Adult Iams® Dog and Cat Foods, now feature Daily Dental Care. Iams Daily Dental Care reduces tartar buildup by up to 53 percent in dogs and 43 percent in cats.
  • Daily brushing — Yes, daily brushing is highly recommended for your dog or cat, but don't look at it as a chore. Brushing your pet's teeth can become a special time to bond each day. To get started, check your local pet supply store for special toothbrushes and pet toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste on your pet.

Unlike other dental products for pets, Iams Daily Dental Care is not based on the addition of high levels of non-fermentable fiber, which may lead to digestive problems, or use of larger kibbles, which may be difficult for some pets to chew.
