February is Pet Dental Health Month.Clean teeth and healthy gums are very important to the general health and happiness of both felines and canines. Without regular care, cats and dogs can lose teeth at an early age and may experience problems with other organs, especially the kidneys and heart. I started brushing my cats teeth years ago and now my 2 adult 11 yr.old cats, Cosmo and Julius, tolerate daily or every other day brushings using a finger toothbrush and malt or fish flavored toothpaste. As a reward ,for good behavior, they receive some hairball remedy gel( which they love and lick off my finger) or some impromptu playtime.
Cat and Dog Fancy magazines emphasize good dental health and many books that KPL owns also include a chapter or several pages on this procedure.
Remember starting a regular dental care routine for your pet is one of the most important things you can do to ensure their optimum overall health.
Resolve to take the steps this month for a dental care regimen that will ensure your pet's good health for life!
