Like their human companions, dogs and cats can suffer from a number of oral health conditions that lead to discomfort and pain. Unfortunately, pet dental care care often goes neglected.  A recent study by the American Animal Hospital Association found that roughly two-thirds of pet owners do not provide the essential pet dental care recommended by veterinarians.

Unfortunately, dogs aren’t able to pick up a toothbrush every morning and evening to maintain proper oral hygiene. As such, they can start to develop some problems with plaque. Plaque is the build up of bacteria on teeth in such a way that they form a tough protein film over teeth, which can increase the likelihood of gum infections.
