Our furry friends need and deserve the best care. If you’re like me, I never knew the importance of taking care of my pets’ teeth, but now that I know I want to make sure that they receive the best care possible. This of course all starts with good products. The least we can do for our little best friends is to make sure that the products we are giving them are safe and have little to no toxins that could be harmful to them.
Fortunately, we have the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC for short), which works to review pet dental products and approve of their dental efficacy when it comes to fighting plaque and tartar.
Here are some of the best recommended products by the VOHC and other pet parents that will help to keep your fur baby’s teeth nice and healthy:
1. Virbac CET Aquadent Fresh Dental Solution
This dental solution is a hassle free plaque and tartar fighter! It also keeps your pet’s breath smelling nice and fresh, which if you’ve ever smelled your pet’s breath, you know is a miracle in itself. This solution is well recommended due to it’s ease of use. Simply pour the recommended amount into your pet’s water bowl, and you’re on your way to easily overcoming periodontal disease.
2. PlaqueOff Powder
PlaqueOff Powder is another brushless oral health product. It is made from kelp found in North America and due to the natural enzymes found in that kelp, it works to break down plaque and tartar build up. According to multiple reviews by pet parents, PlaqueOff has also helped to whiten their pet’s teeth in just a few short weeks.
3. PetSmile Professional Pet Toothpaste
This pet toothpaste is a crowd favorite for its various flavor choices ranging from rotisserie chicken, cheese, to london broil. It is VOHC accepted and works to not only fight plaque and tartar, but to also re-mineralize and whiten teeth as well. While it is recommended to use this product with a toothbrush, it can also easily be applied directly onto their teeth as a lickable treat.
4. Greenies Dog Treats
Greenies have been a favorite in my household! These treats not only keep your pet’s teeth healthy, but pets seems to love the taste as well. I mean, every pet loves a treat, right?! Greenies are made with natural ingredients, along with necessary vitamins and minerals that help to replenish your pet’s mouth with the necessary nutrients it needs. And as your pet would be happy to know, these irresistible treats can be given daily.
5. HICC Pet Teeth Cleaning Wipes
These teeth wipes feel more like a massage than a dental health product. HICC pet has combined both into one in these cleaning wipes. These deodorizing wipes are made from gentle ingredients such as coconut oil, baking soda, and aloe vera extract. These ingredients work together to naturally deodorize your pet’s mouth and clean their teeth. For dogs who may be stand offish when it comes to using an actual brush, these teeth wipes are a great alternative.
6. Jasper Dog Toothbrush
This toothbrush is one of the best! With its 360 degree design, it allows for ease of use when brushing their entire mouth. Its silicone bristles are soft and gentle, yet powerful enough to clean puppy or kitty’s teeth. The silicone makes it hygienic, easy to clean, and reusable. Pet parents praise this product due to its comfort when putting on and ease in reaching some of the harder to reach molars in the back of pet’s mouth.
While these products can be helpful towards maintaining and even reclaiming the health of your fur baby’s teeth, nothing beats a good Veterinarian examination. Periodontal disease is no fun! With early prevention and great products, we can work to keep our sweet little furry family members happier and free from future oral diseases.
