Shaver Road Animal Hospital wants to help you provide the best healthcare for your pet! As part of this care, we recommend HOME DENTAL CARE for each and every patient. This can involve brushing the teeth daily, using an antibacterial gel to reduce gingivitis, adding an enzymatic solution to the water to help kill bacteria, and encouraging healthy chewing habits.
It is easiest to introduce home dental care when your dog or cat is young. However, you really CAN teach an older pet new tricks! Please ask us for a demonstration on one of the home dental care techniques at your next visit - or watch the attached video to learn how to brush your dog's teeth at home!
