Your Dog’s Dental Health Is Important – How Can Dental Chews Help?

What makes the biggest difference for your dog’s dental health? You as a dog owner should know. Some however question if they should be even concerned about their dog’s health!

Make sure your dog isn’t suffering from oral problems like:

o Bad breath

o Hard yellow or brown residue on teeth (tartar)

o Build-up of saliva, bacteria, and food on teeth (plaque)

o Pain in gums and teeth

o Swollen, bleeding, or irritated gums

Dogs Can Suffer From Bad Dental Hygiene Just As Us

Man’s best friend can suffer from periodontal or gum disease just like people. It’s up to us to take care of their dental hygiene because this issue (if ignored) can become serious. Dental problems in dogs lead to broken or lost teeth, a loss of appetite, and may even lead to organ damage if bacteria (from diseased gums) get into the bloodstream.

Maintaining oral health is quite possible! Professional dental cleanings and even brushing your pooch’s teeth will help a lot however owners can also make use of dog dental chews that offer the same benefits for oral care.

Benefits of Dog Dental Chews Are…

Organic dog dental chews produced by Royal Dog Chew help with:

Improving Gum and Teeth Health

Research done on the matter states dogs that chew actively actually have less plaque build-up than dogs that don’t. It was also found that some types of dental chews and diets help reduce plaque by nearly 70%! How is this possible? The mechanical chewing action of dogs is the reason for this development. One study even suggests how increase in diameter of kibble (by 50%) can lead to a significant reduction in tartar.

Reducing Bad Breath

You think you are the only one with bad breath? Dogs have it just as bad too, if not worse. It isn’t uncommon for a dog’s breath to be slightly unpleasant, as a result of bacteria build-up in the mouth. This is a sure sign that your dog needs better dental care. You should also check with your vet to make sure it’s only bad breath and nothing medically serious.

Professional cleaning and regular tooth brushing is usually carried out by dog owners however you can also try specially formulated dog dental treats to help improve bad breath. Other dental condition can also be improved with dental dog chews.    

Not All Dental Dog Chews Are Created Equal!

Keep this in mind. Some dental chew brands are more effective than others while other popular ‘commercialized’ chew brands offer nothing in value. Choose the best dental treat for your puppy or grown dog by keeping the following in mind.

Make the Right Match

Look at your dog’s size and weight. Looking at Fido’s preferences and personality will also help pick the best dental chew or treat. The idea is to match the treat’s working capability with your dog, i.e. a firmer product may be needed for bigger, more aggressive chewers.

Limit Edible Treats

This is why moist foods are generally not preferred when owners are caring for their pooch’s dental hygiene. It will go down too fast therefore be of no benefit at all to the teeth. Such treats are also usually laden with calories and salt. Invest in a big chew chunk, like hardened cheese that even the most aggressive chewers won’t be able to finish in one sitting.
