Three important reasons why you should take care of your pet's oral health

1. Bad breath

If your pet's bad breath has forced you to keep your distance, proper oral care will help restore close contact between you. After all, physical touch is an important language of love, and cuddling should not be missing between you and your furry friend.

2. Tooth loss:

Good oral care can also help strengthen your pet’s tooth structure. If the bones and gums in your pet's mouth become damaged or infected, teeth can become loose and fall out. Pets that experience tooth loss may experience changes in appearance, suffer from reduced self-confidence, and have difficulty eating.

3. Organ damage:

Poor oral health can also cause permanent damage to your organs. Bacteria from dental plaque buildup may penetrate into the bloodstream and travel alarmingly to the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Just like humans, pets also require regular care. So, where do we start? We asked our PhD-level animal nutrition expert, Dr. Gary, for advice.

Gary Pusillo, PhD, Animal Nutrition : In addition to regular checkups and dental care from your veterinarian, feeding Aimé Kitchen Oral Health formula is a great way to create a “daily regimen” to maintain good oral health! In addition, regular brushing and giving certain "healthy" tooth chewing foods are also good auxiliary steps.
