Dog Dental Care

Dog Dental Care

Most dogs love to eat and chew—whether it’s on dog food or dog toys—but they probably don’t think much about their dental hygiene. As a pet parent, it’s up to you to provide dental products for dogs that can help keep their teeth clean.

Much like humans, canines can suffer from plaque and tartar that can turn into gingivitis, leading to periodontitis. Once periodontitis sets in, your pet can suffer from tooth root abscesses or deep bone infections that most commonly result in teeth falling out. Not only can these conditions affect your pup’s mouth, but they can also cause widespread organ damage or severe health issues that might require prescription medication or do long-term damage.

To help spare your dog future pain and illness due to canine periodontal disease, you can get set up with a dog toothbrush, dog toothpaste and other pet dental solutions to include as part of your regular grooming routine. At Petco, we have a variety of pet oral care supplies for your canine to help keep their teeth intact and even freshen their breath. In addition, if your dog is averse to brushing, we offer many solutions to make dental care more fun, including dog dental chews, dental treats for dogs and even dog mouthwash.
