Signs Your Pet is Living with Dental Disease

Generally, dogs and cats are reluctant to show when they’re sick or in pain, so it isn’t always easy to tell when they’re not feeling 100 percent. There are some things you can look for, however, which could point to significant oral health problems in need of immediate treatment.

These signs include:

  • Bad breath
  • Drooling
  • Dropping food
  • Chewing food gingerly and on one side only
  • Blood in saliva
  • Reddened gums
  • Yellow/brown buildup along the gum line
  • Avoiding chew toys and tug-of-war games
  • Eating less
  • Sleeping more

Dental Disease Prevention
Starts at Home

Does your pet have a home teeth cleaning routine? If not, consider starting right away. Daily teeth brushing is one of the best methods for removing food debris and soft plaque from along the gum line, and preventing continuous buildup in the mouth. Allowing plaque to accumulate, harden, and potentially release bacteria into the mouth and under the gums can lead to painful infection and a lower quality of life for your pet.
