If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again

Pet Dental Health Month is just about over.  Did you schedule or take your pet for an annual teeth cleaning? Or have you attempted to brush your pet’s teeth at home?  How’d it go? 

The first few times probably weren’t a walk in the park.  Don’t give up. Preventative at-home care helps combat dental disease in pets and pet dentists feel it is a critical part of dental care.  At-home dental care can be successful if started young, done consistently and made into a positive experience for the pet.

Still intimidated by Fido’s ferocious teeth?  Check out this video developed by veterinary experts at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine for step-by-step instructions to show you how to brush your cat’s teeth.  These instructions will work on dogs too!
