How to Brush Your Pets Teeth

Some simple home hygiene tips are:

Brushing your pet’s teeth as little as one time a week can cut down on 50-60% of tartar build-up.
Dental products specifically designed for pets, including Oravet and CET, can help protect gums and lessen tartar.
Dry pet food is better for teeth than canned food; it causes abrasion to tooth surfaces when chewed, helping remove tartar build-up. Other treats such as raw-hide can also help remove built-up plaque.
There are many pet toys that support dental health. Buying your pets these toys not only entertains them, but offers a dual purpose in helping clean teeth.

Remember, creating a smooth clean tooth surface makes it more difficult for tartar and plaque to build up!

Testimonials

Dr. Dolly has been my primary veterinarian since 2005 when my 5 year old mixed breed dog suddenly fell ill with an immune system disorder. Dr. Dolly's prompt treatment and recommendations saved my dog's life. Continued treatment under his close supervision resulted in a normal and wonderful life for my dog. I can't thank him enough for the additional 7 years I had with my dog that wouldn't have been possible without him. Dr. Dolly now treats my two current dogs who have both, separately, had the misfortune of suffering serious knee injuries this year. Both surgeries went extremely well with no complications and the dogs were actually using their injured legs within 48 hours afterwards. His no-nonsense approach to treatment always prioritizes what is best for your pet and he will not perform unnecessary procedures. When I make an appointment at Canterbury Animal Hospital, I am certain that my pets will be treated by professionals with the knowledge and state of the art tools necessary for the absolute best care possible.
