Fight Periodontal Disease

Does your Furbaby have that not so fresh breath? It could be a sign of greater problems. Not only is it important to have your pet on a high quality kibble, you must also keep their teeth and gums clean.

Periodontal Disease is the #1 disease among both dogs and cats. What is Periodontal Disease? It is inflammation of some or all of the tooth's support structures. Periodontal Disease is IRREVERSIBLE! So take all the necessary steps to prevent it before it occurs.

What can you do to fight Periodontal Disease in your Pet?

1. A high quality kibble, made from fresh meats, and a named meat source and the FIRST ingredient. AVOID heavy carbs, such as corn and gluten, as well as starches as the primary ingredient.

2. Provide a chew toy. Ensure you select the correct size for your dog. Not only does this massage the teeth and gums, and regulates digestive juices. As a bonus, it is an occupier to keep your dog busy and away from boredom (and your end tables!).

3. Give a crunchy treat! As your dog or cat crunches, the particles of food will scrape against the teeth, loosening the left over breakfast or dinner you served your companion.

4. Use a Tail Wagger'z Approved product such as TROPICLEAN FRESH BREATH. A very simple and easy way to provide dental care WITHOUT brushing.

Periodontal Disease can be very painful. It can lead to loose teeth, abscesses, and bone loss or infection. Dental problems can also lead to more serious diseases such as Kidney or Heart Disease.
