Dental care for our furry friends often goes unnoticed, yet it's a vital aspect of their overall well-being. Can you believe that a recent AAHA study uncovered that approximately two-thirds of pet owners overlook the dental care recommended by veterinarians? And here's the real eye-opener: by the tender age of three, a staggering 80 percent of dogs already display signs of oral issues, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society.
But dental health isn't just about maintaining pearly whites; it can have far-reaching effects on their overall well-being. Dental issues can lead to more severe health problems like heart, lung, and kidney diseases. It can affect your pet's energy level and life expectancy. That's why it's crucial to kickstart proper dental care early on for your pets.
While your veterinarian plays a significant role, we pet parents must become involved when it comes to dental care at home. So, let's embark on this dental journey together to ensure our furry pals enjoy the benefits of lifelong dental health and overall happiness.
Barkle believes that every pet should be registered as a patient in a veterinary practice and have a full exam at least once a year. Yearly examinations are really important for you and your family, as well as your pet. This is the best way to prevent serious problems and expensive procedures. Prevention costs 70% less than active treatment in the long term — this is true in all aspects of health care.
Your furry friend's bad breath and smelly kisses aren't something you should just endure as a pet parent – they can be telltale signs of underlying oral issues. Breath odor in canines is the result of periodontal disease, and odor severity is related to the severity of the infection. The sooner you address these concerns with your veterinarian and take action at home, the faster those happy smiles can return.
Now, let's delve into the intricate world of periodontal disease – it's like a sneaky villain with progressive stages. It all begins innocently enough with a bacterial film called plaque, finding a cozy spot on your pet's teeth. As these bacteria solidify into tartar or calculus, they create a rough terrain where more plaque can thrive.
At this point, it evolves into a more progressed periodontal disease and oral condition that can cause red, swollen gums. But if ignored, it can evolve into gingivitis – picture red, swollen gums that bleed at the slightest touch. But there's more! Plaque and calculus will move below the gum line, leaving no choice but to call in the professionals for a thorough professional cleaning under general anesthesia.
But here's the good news: with timely action, you can prevent these dental dramas from playing out, that leave you with you no choice but to spend hundreds or more on dental cleanings or procedures like tooth extractions that cause more discomfort for your dog. Instead, start a daily dental routine to keep your furry friend in good health for life.
When your furry friend's breath takes a turn for the less-than-pleasant, it's often a signal of periodontal disease.
Bad breath in dogs is typically not caused by broader health issues affecting the entire body but may be linked to specific oral or dental conditions, such as sulfur compounds on the tongue, which can stir up a stink.
You see, dogs have their own oral microbiome, and those sneaky sulfur-producing bacteria on the back of the tongue can break down proteins at an Olympic speed, unleashing foul-smelling volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). These VSCs cause bad breath even if your dog's teeth are clean — look for a heavy coating on the back of their tongue.
We understand that the well-being of your canine companion is your top priority. This is why we want to address a concern that many pet parents share — the use of anesthesia during dental procedures. While anesthesia is a common practice in veterinary dentistry, it's crucial to approach it with care and awareness. Pets with advanced disease would benefit from a professional cleaning prior to using Barkle. This is especially true if loose and abscessed teeth are present. In order to prevent complications from general anesthesia, it is important to prevent gum disease with daily application of Barkle. Similar to your own personal hygiene, daily application is critical, and yearly checkups are important as preventive measures.
Veterinary professionals take extensive precautions to minimize anesthesia risks. Tailoring the approach to each pet, regular health check-ups, pre-anesthetic exams, and thorough monitoring during the procedure are standard practices to enhance the safety of your dog.
We encourage open communication with your veterinarian to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about anesthesia. Your active involvement in your pet's healthcare decisions is integral in providing optimal care for your furry family member.
