Struggling with bad breath?

Say tar-tar to plaque with our natural dental range!

Like humans, our pets can experience common issues with their dental hygiene if their teeth and gums are not regularly maintained. If left untreated, these issues can be both painful for them and expensive for you. The good news is there are a number of small, consistent dental care actions you can take to help with their dental hygiene!

Common dental health & hygiene issues

Plaque & tartar: If you’ve seen inside your pet’s mouth, you may have seen what appears to be brown staining on their teeth. This is, in fact, likely to be a build-up of plaque & tartar. By removing plaque, you can prevent gum disease which leads to gingivitis in pets.

Bad breath: This is probably the most well-known dental issue. Many of us have been on the receiving end of our pet’s smelly breath (dog breath). Sometimes this is caused by little ‘treats’ they’ve decided to chew during walkies but chronic bad breath can be a sign of other issues which need investigating, such as gingivitis, which is caused by gum disease.

Breed: Some pets are more prone to canine dental issues than others due to their breed. This is often due to the shape of their face, such as sighthounds or flat-faced breeds. For example, teeth overcrowding can lead to a build-up of food which can lead to gum disease.

Mouth injuries:
These are caused by foreign bodies, like a stone, which could crack teeth or sticks which could cut the inside of the mouth. If left untreated, this can lead to infection. Perhaps bringing your dog’s own toys such as tennis balls on walks may help deter them from picking up things which may cause them harm and prevent any dental issues.

How to brush your dog's teeth

  1. Get your dog used to it: Start by letting your dog sniff and taste the toothpaste so they associate it with something positive.
  2. Pick your tool: Use your chosen toothbrush or cloth and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
  3. Use dog-friendly toothpaste: We recommend using our vet-approved, dog-specific option like our meaty-flavoured Roast Dinner Dog Toothpaste.
  4. Brush gently: Use slow, circular motions to clean the teeth. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can damage their gums.
  5. Keep it calm and rewarding: Give plenty of praise and keep sessions short. Follow up with a favourite treat to create a positive experience.
  6. Build a routine: Aim to brush at least once a week. Daily brushing is ideal, but even occasional brushing is better than none.

Extra support: For stubborn tartar, you can use our best-selling homeopathic remedy, Fragaric 3C. Simply add 3–5 drops daily for a month, then once a week as ongoing support.

We have tried many ways of cleaning our dog's teeth

My 3 dogs accept to have their teeth brushed with this toothpaste, they love the taste. It’s also easier to use than ordinary toothpaste.

My 3 dogs love the taste

I thought the tartar and discolouration of my 13yo staffies teeth was too bad for this to make much difference for at least a month or two. We've been using it 3 times a day, straight into her mouth for just a week and can already see an improvement. I'm amazed. Highly recommend this product.

WOW!

My big five year old Weimaraner long hair Kritov has had an issue with plaque since taking him on at three years old . He does not chew his biscuits even with an anti scoff bowl & he's also a big slobberer! He's had his teeth cleaned at the vet, too, & the came plaque back again. I'm almost finished his first bottle of Fragaria 3C. Today, when I checked his teeth, the plaque had reduced. I'm about to include daily cleaning as well when his toothpaste arrives from Dorwest. I'm so happy & thank you for you amazing products that do work.
