Brushing your dog’s teeth: important or excessive?
Do you brush your dog's teeth regularly or is that going too far for you in terms of animal love ? First, the good news: veterinary dentists recommend regular brushing and dental care for dogs. In general, mouth health is unfortunately often underestimated by many dog owners . Harmless plaque can develop into a real problem over time. Serious cases can even put strain on the whole body.
Many dog owners treat their four-legged friends as full members of the family. However, opinions often differ when it comes to dental care and promoting dental health . It is not uncommon for people to accuse them of humanizing their dogs . However, this is completely inappropriate in this area .
Brushing your dog’s teeth is not only important, but also useful
Thanks to the large gaps between the teeth, dogs ' teeth are much more effective at cleaning themselves than humans'. Food residues are removed over a large area by saliva . Despite this, dogs' teeth, just like human teeth, are exposed to daily "attackers" such as bacteria . Deposits and bacteria can cause health problems in dogs, just like in humans .
It is a mistake, and can sometimes be fatal, to sit back and relax and consider tooth cleaning to be a natural process . In most cases, the natural abrasion caused by chewing is not enough to keep dogs' oral hygiene in balance over many years. Diet also plays an important role .
The German Society for Dentistry (DGT) has published figures which state that around 80% of all dogs and cats suffer from severe diseases of the oral cavity and teeth .
Dental care for dogs is not excessive
Dental care for dogs is not considered excessive. On the contrary, many manufacturers even make regular dental care and brushing of dogs easier with their products . Our e mmi ® - pet ultrasonic toothbrush has been specially developed for dental care for dogs . Dental care products for humans are not really suitable for use on dogs. Toothpaste for humans in particular is not suitable for our four-legged friends. The often well-intentioned care with toothbrushes that were developed for human use is also not recommended.
Human toothbrushes are usually much too big. Their bristles are much too hard for the sensitive mucous membranes in a dog’s mouth. The taste and ingredients of ordinary toothpaste are also not suitable for dogs . Ingredients such as xylitol can also have a negative impact on your dog's health. Some ingredients in human toothpaste can even cause poisoning in dogs .
