Products that are most effective at doing this are allowed to display a seal of approval by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) on the package. Some dental products are made with a chemical that is applied to the chew, stick, toy, food, etc., that reduces the ability of plaque to form and stay on the teeth. Now, that doesn’t mean your pet will never need a good dental scaling and polishing, but it will help increase the time in between required teeth cleanings, and keep their mouth cleaner and healthier in the meantime. If your dog’s teeth aren’t brushed on a regular basis, unchecked plaque can lead to serious problems.ĭogs that are given an appropriate dental dog treat, chew toys or other dental care products have been shown to have reduced amounts of plaque and tartar. This film is what forms over the teeth, collecting bacteria as it builds and eventually hardening into tartar if not hindered in some way. The action of chewing works to prevent the accumulation of large amounts of plaque on the pet’s teeth. Some dogs and breeds have a tendency to develop tartar quickly, while others may dislike having their teeth brushed, so make sure you create a routine and habits that suit your dog. There is a range of dental care products specifically designed to help brush or clean your dog’s teeth at home to reduce the amount of tartar and plaque buildup between professionally getting your dog’s teeth cleaned. To keep your dog’s mouth healthy it’s essential to monitor your dog’s dental health, get your dog’s teeth checked at least once a year, if necessary cleaned by an expert, and maintain healthy at-home dental care habits and routines.
