How to prevent puppies from having dentites? Not only people can get this disease. In recent years, the number of puppies suffering from tartar and periodontitis has increased year by year. Generally speaking, symptoms such as plaque and drooling may be caused by tartars, and in severe cases, it may even lead to bacterial infections and endanger life.

1. Keep eating special dog food and don't let dogs eat too soft food

Dog owners usually give their dogs more teeth grinding, or clean their teeth toys. If possible, it is best to give dogs special dog food. Hard grain will help dogs clean their teeth while eating. Don’t always give your dog food that is too soft. Food that is too soft is very bad for dogs’ teeth development.

Also, eating more bones and using gum for dogs can increase friction between teeth and prevent calculus.

2. Do not always feed things with high sugar content

Do not always feed things with high sugar content. If a dog eats things with high sugar content, rinse his mouth, because tartar is related to saliva. The less saliva, the easier it is to form tartar. It is recommended to drink more water. Also, if you chew it and then swallow it, food residues can easily cause tartar in dogs.

3. Pay attention to prevention and brushing of teeth. It is also very simple to prevent dog dental diseases. Once symptoms are found, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. At present, many hospitals can provide treatment services for pets to clean teeth.

If you have the conditions, you can brush your dog's teeth regularly at home, which can also prevent tartars in dogs.
