Dental Care for Dogs & Cats

Have you looked at your dog and cats teeth recently? Are their teeth yellow with plaque build up? Did you know that if you leave the teeth in that condition it becomes worse? Infection sets in and destroyes not only the teeth but the bones that hold the teeth. The bad breath is unbearable. Pets are like us. We eat, bacteria grow in our mouths, and we need to clean our teeth. If your dog or cats teeth become infected, take them to the vet and have a professional cleaning. They may need antibiotics if infected and that is done at the vets. After that, put them on a home dental cleaning regimine.
