As pet parents, we do everything we can to protect and care for our fur kids. That includes regular visits to the veterinarian, and keeping up with the preventative measures they recommend. When preparing for our vet visits with Daisy, I usually make a list of all the questions and concerns I want to ask her Doc. That helps keep me from worrying about forgetting anything I need to know to keep Daisy healthy and happy! It’s our job as pet parents to do the worrying, so our pets can enjoy the good life.

Daisy and Pals living the good life!

One very important thing to discuss with your pet’s veterinarian at your next visit is flea and tick control. Not only is this an issue because no one wants itchy fleas to take over their home or put their fur kid through the misery of nasty bites, but fleas can also spread disease and parasites, cause skin infections and more unpleasant-ness. And ticks are known to carry and spread Lyme Disease and other serious illnesses.

Keep Your Dog Smiling with Healthy Teeth and Gums + Win $100 from The Dentastix Brand!

Daisy toothy grin

Daisy’s funny smile is one of the many things we love about her. It makes ME smile just seeing her crooked, toothy grin, and we’re doing everything we can to help keep her teeth and mouth healthy. In addition to keeping your dog’s smile looking good, a lot of pet parents don’t realize that proper oral care is super important for your dog’s overall health too!

Just like with people, if a pet gets gum disease from poor oral hygiene, bacteria from their mouth could enter their bloodstream and travel to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. Unfortunately, unlike humans, we can’t teach our fur kids how to brush and floss so we have to be responsible for keeping their mouth healthy and clean for them!

Whether you’ve got a new puppy or have an older dog, here are some tips for you:

  • Brush your dog’s teeth daily and only use toothpaste that is designed for pets (never use human toothpaste). Daisy likes the poultry flavor and thinks tooth brushing is a big treat!

  • Out of sight, out of mind. Keep your dog’s tooth brush and toothpaste somewhere handy where you’ll see it and remember to use it. We keep all of Daisy’s important supplies up on top of the microwave in a big bowl where we can see it but she can’t get into it.
  • Watch out for early signs of gum and dental disease. If your dog starts getting bad breath or you notice their gums are bleeding, be sure to see the vet. Even if you don’t see these symptoms, remember to ask your veterinarian about your dog’s oral health at every annual exam.
  • Treat your dog with snacks designed to aid in oral care, like Pedigree Dentastix treats. They’re clinically proven to reduce tartar buildup (a contributor to gum disease) by up to 80% when used daily. They’ve got a special texture and patented X-shape. They help clean between teeth and down to the gum line. You’ll find them in sizes for every dog, too!

To help spread the word about the importance of great oral care, the makers of Dentastix treats wants to give one lucky reader a very special treat that is sure to make you SMILE: a $100 Visa Gift Card! That sure will buy a lot of treats and toothpaste…Or use it to splurge on anything you’d like!
