Diamond Pet Foods Celebrates February - Dental Health Month!

When was the last time you took a good look at your dog’s teeth? All too often people neglect their own teeth – only brushing, what’s more they neglect their pet’s teeth, not even brushing those at all!

Keeping a close eye on your dog’s teeth can save him a lot of discomfort and possible disease. Foul breath, red gums and discolored teeth could all be signs of more serious problems such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) that can give way to disease in the mouth or blood stream.

Although a dental exam is part of most annual vet visits, you can help to maintain overall dental health by brushing your dog’s teeth with specially formulated canine toothpaste and brushes. Kits with detailed instructions are available in many pet stores. Your vet can demonstrate proper technique and suggest the best formulas and tools for your dog.

Another great and easy way to maintain your pup’s teeth is by selecting treats and kibble that help to reduce plaque and tarter build up, while nourishing him with important vitamins and minerals like calcium. Diamond Pet Foods dry dog food formulas, such as Diamond Premium Adult, Diamond Naturals Chicken & Rice, and Diamond Performance, all promote healthy and clean teeth. Also any of our biscuits are great for the teeth and gums, and your pooch will love the taste!
