VETRADENT Dog & Cat Powder Dental Water Additive, 10.6-oz jar

Do dogs and cats need daily oral care? Yes! The oral care needs of people and pets are very similar. Our pets don’t brush and floss daily to prevent oral disease, including periodontal disease, so they depend on us to provide them with proper care.

Periodontal disease can be prevented through consistent oral care at home. Oral care is as important in pets as it is in people, and the VETRADENT line of products offers many options to help you maintain and promote good oral hygiene.

Periodontal disease begins when bacteria in the mouth form a substance called plaque that sticks to teeth and forms dental tartar. Bacteria in the plaque and tartar can spread below the gumline and into the bloodstream.

There are many signs of oral disease, including bad breath, bleeding or red gums, or brown deposits (tartar) on the teeth. However, not all signs are easily recognizable, so it is important for your pet to routinely see your veterinarian for proper evaluation.
