Dental care for cats and dogs.

Pets can develop dental health problems like humans. The animal may have a congenital malocclusion, and if you did not purchase the animal from the breeder of the breed, then you will have to establish the fact of the malocclusion yourself. An improper bite in a cat or dog can, in addition to trauma to the mucous membrane of the opposite jaws, interfere with chewing food, which means that the animal will suffer from digestive disorders.

The animal cannot complain to you if it has problems with its teeth or gums. For this reason, the pet owner will not hurt to examine the animal's mouth on his own initiative. Diseases of the teeth are not conspicuous on visual inspection, but inflammation of the mucous membrane can be noticed.

Signs of dental problems in cats and dogs:

  • the animal is restless,
  • the animal may be irritated, angry, biting,
  • possibly profuse salivation from the mouth,
  • the animal can refuse food, play, be sad,
  • the animal may touch its mouth frequently.

The veterinarian can show the animal to inspect the condition of the mouth and teeth, not only during the periods of the alleged illness, but also during the preventive examination.

Cat and dog teeth need care. In veterinary practice, there are techniques so that the owner of the pet can brush his teeth himself. Toothpastes for humans are not suitable for animals, as they contain components that can irritate the mucous membrane in the animal's mouth. You can brush your pet's teeth with a cotton swab smeared with paste, as well as manually massage the gums.

Buy supplies and chew toys for your pet. In the process of how the animal gnaws a toy, it mechanically cleans the plaque from the teeth and massages the gums, which has a beneficial effect on the nutrition of the teeth and their integrity.

An animal can suffer from the same diseases of the teeth and mucous membranes as a person. And it is clear that these sufferings are not pleasant. So the owner should take care of the health of the pet's teeth.
