Dog Dental & Oral Care

About

Looking after your dog’s teeth is just as important as looking after the rest of their body. Dental disease is one of the most common health issues seen in dogs, and without good care it can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss and even affect overall wellbeing. At the PDSA Pet Store, our Dog Dental Care collection brings together trusted, vet recommended products to help keep your dog’s mouth clean, gums healthy and breath fresh. Why Dog Dental Care Matters Every dog’s mouth contains plaque, a sticky biofilm of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums. Left unchecked, this plaque hardens into tartar and triggers gum inflammation, which can progress to periodontal disease, painful infections and tooth loss. Common signs your dog may be developing dental issues include: • Persistent bad breath • Red, swollen or bleeding gums • Yellow or brown tartar at the gum line • Difficulty eating, dropping food or chewing on one side • Pawing at the mouth or facial discomfort If you spot any of these signs, contact your vet for advice. Vet Recommended Care Starts at Home Regular teeth cleaning for dogs can help reduce the build up of plaque and tartar. Brushing your dog's teeth with doggy toothpaste and a suitable toothbrush is an important part of their dental care routine. Top Tips from PDSA Vets: • Brushing: Daily brushing with a dog specific toothbrush and toothpaste is a great way to help prevent plaque and tartar build up. • Regular Checks: Get into the habit of gently checking your dog’s teeth and gums. Healthy gums should be a salmon pink colour, and teeth should be free from heavy deposits. • Dental Toys & Chews: Specially designed dental chews and toys can help reduce plaque and encourage chewing. Always supervise your dog and include these as part of their overall diet.
