Not everyone knows that caring for a pet includes not only washing, combing or timely visits to the veterinarian, but also brushing teeth.
The thing is that the most common dental disease in dogs and cats is tartar.
Only the owner can help the animal avoid this problem.
Dr. Marina Evteeva spoke about this in more detail, reports Moscow 24 .
The specialist recommended accustoming a cat or dog to this procedure from an early age.
Cleaning should be done at least once a week. But you need to take into account the characteristics of the breed.
It is very important to buy special brushes and pastes in pet stores. The size should be selected individually.
For example, if you choose a brush that is too big for a small dog, it will only cause discomfort to the pet. The bristles should be ultra-soft so as not to injure the gums.
