Dental care for dogs – effective against tartar & bad breath
Good dental hygiene is also crucial for health in dogs. In our range, you will find effective products for tooth cleaning such as toothpaste, chew strips, and dental sticks. They help to remove tartar, reduce bad breath, and keep the teeth of your darling healthy.
As with us humans, poor dental health in dogs can also be the cause of secondary diseases. Studies also show that oral cavity diseases are among the most common diagnoses in veterinary practices.
Untreated tartar in dogs can lead to gum inflammation, periodontitis, and even tooth loss. In addition, the bacteria in the tartar can enter other organs via the bloodstream and cause inflammation there.

Many dogs suffer from Dental problems in the course of their lives. Common causes are food remains, plaque, and tartar. If these remain untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, loose teeth, or even organ damage. With the right dental hygiene, you can actively prevent this and save your dog a lot.
