Dental care for dogs

Oral Vital – 100 g and XL 350 g tubs with parsley

Dental care for dogs – easily integrated into everyday life

Dog dental care doesn't have to be complicated. With Oral Vital, there are two ways: a dental care powder that you simply sprinkle over food, and a spray for daily oral hygiene. The powder contains parsley, seaweed meal, and peppermint, among other ingredients, while the spray contains peppermint oil, sage, and chamomile. Both are manufactured in Germany and require no toothbrush.

Why dental care is so important for dogs

A soft film of food debris and bacteria, known as plaque, forms on teeth every day. If left, minerals are deposited and it hardens into tartar. Tartar in dogs cannot be brushed away at home; that is a job for the vet. Daily dental care therefore starts earlier: with soft plaque.

Dental care for dogs: How to make it work in everyday life

Start early:Even puppies can learn to have their mouths looked at. Reward every calm second.
Check regularly:Lift the lips once a week and check for plaque, discoloration, and the condition of the gums.
Encourage chewing:Suitable chew treats promote chewing. Very hard bones or antlers can damage teeth.
Tooth brushing:If you like, you can brush with a dog toothbrush and dog toothpaste, never with toothpaste for humans.
Vet check:Have the teeth checked once a year. The vet will remove any existing tartar.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my dog's teeth?

Ideally daily. Plaque forms every day and can harden into tartar within a few days. A dental care powder in food or a spray is easy to incorporate into your daily routine. In addition, you should check the teeth yourself once a week.

Can I remove tartar from my dog's teeth myself?

No. Already hardened tartar should be removed by a veterinarian, usually under anesthesia. Scraping with tools at home can damage tooth enamel and gums. Daily dental care starts earlier: with soft plaque, before it hardens.

How is tooth powder for dogs applied?

Dental powder like Oral Vital is simply sprinkled over the food and eaten along with it. The daily amount depends on your dog's weight and can be found on the product page. Because no toothbrush is necessary, powder is especially suitable for dogs that do not like having their mouths handled.

What causes bad breath in dogs?

Often, plaque and tartar are the cause, and sometimes it is the food. If the smell persists or is very strong, have a vet check the teeth and the overall condition. For fresh breath in daily life, there are care products like the Oral Vital Spray with peppermint oil.
