Dental care for dogs and cats

Dental care for our loyal four-legged friends is much more than a routine - it is an indispensable part of general health care. Dental diseases can not only cause pain in dogs, but can also lead to other serious health problems. It is therefore important that we as dog owners live up to our responsibility and ensure effective and gentle dental care.

Common dental problems in dogs, such as periodontitis, gingivitis and tartar formation, are often the result of inadequate dental care. These problems are not only painful, but can also lead to reduced food intake and thus nutritional deficiencies. Even more worrying is the fact that bacteria from the mouth area can spread throughout the body and cause potentially serious diseases such as kidney and heart disease.
