Dental Care for pets

Toothbrushes, pastes, dental chews and water additives.

Dental disease is one of the most common problems in both dogs and cats. Home dental care helps slow plaque build-up, but it does not remove existing tartar or treat disease already present under the gumline — that needs a veterinary cleaning under anaesthetic.

When to contact a veterinarian

  • Bad breath that has changed or worsened
  • Bleeding gums, or pawing at the mouth
  • Dropping food, or chewing on one side
