Dogs make the best Valentines, don’t they? The cuddles, the kisses, the unconditional love. Show your pup some ❤️ this month with one of these unique (and easy) gifts — a sure way to lock in some extra cuddle time and licks. Speaking of kisses (and fresh doggie breath), February is also Pet Dental Health Month. Taking care of your dog’s teeth is up there for showing your dog how much you care about her. Good dental health prevents chronic pain and inflammation, and periodontal disease associated with heart, kidney and liver issues.
But 80 percent of dogs end up with dental disease by 3 years old. Pumpkin Pet Insurance surveyed more than 500 pet owners, and 63% reported not regularly brushing their dog or cat’s teeth at home, mostly because their pet won’t let them or dislikes it.
Brushing a dog’s teeth takes practice and patience, but it’s worth it! Did you know there are alternatives to the standard toothbrush? Try them out and let us know what you think. And in the meantime, send us your ❤️ pictures with your pup to be featured on our social media pages.
