- Food deposits are a major cause of bad teeth and subsequent ill-health. Minimising food deposits is an essential part of looking after your pet.
- Ensure your pet is only fed once or twice a day.
- Do not allow your pet to pick at food throughout the day, pick up the meal after 5 - 10 mins if it is not finished.
- The best way for you to help your pet maintain a healthy mouth, is brushing their teeth on a regular basis to reduce plaque build up and gingivitis. You should use a special toothbrush and toothpaste designed for pets. Avoid using toothpaste designed for people because your pet can't spit it out and it can upset your pet's stomach.
- Give your pet 'chew toys' and feed them hard or course textured food. This can help to remove plaque.
