It is well-recognised that teeth are the most neglected health issue in our dog & cat population. Treated as "out of sight, out of mind.” But periodontal disease is the most frequently occurring clinical condition in dogs and cats.  Four out of five dogs and cats over the age of three will show signs of tooth and gum disease.

It’s the main interface where bacteria and their toxins can enter the bloodstream. Millions of bacteria build up and thrive. When teeth and gums are diseased, bacteria can easily enter the bloodstream and get carried off to vital organs, as well as settle on the valves of the heart.

Pets with bad mouths are under constant challenge. A smelly breath is a strong indicator of dental and gum disease. If your pet’s breath smells, have it seen to. Leaving this unattended may well reduce lifespan.

• We have excellent equipment to scale and polish your pet’s teeth.

It is important for dogs and cats to chew. This helps keep their teeth strong and clean. It's also good "occupational therapy."

Raw meaty bones (No joints) are good for your pets. Raw chicken wings and chicken necks are good for cats and small dogs. Feed appropriate-sized bones. Turkey necks are better for medium and larger-sized dogs. Chicken carcasses too.

Presenting raw meaty bones must to be weighed up according to your pet’s eating habits. Raw meaty bones are nutritious. Cooked bones are not. They can wear and even break your pet’s teeth and lead to constipation.

Cats are true carnivores. Their teeth are made for cutting through meat and bone.

Dogs are omnivores. They have cutting teeth and crushing teeth.
