Did you know four out of five Australian dogs and cats over the age of three years suffer some sort of dental disease, or that about 80 per cent of adult animals have some degree of dental disease that worsens with age?

What causes tooth decay in cats and dogs?

Basically, cats and dogs no longer eat the diet they’ve evolved on for millions of years. Instead of the raw meat and bones Mother Nature intended, we feed them high levels of carbohydrate-rich, processed dry and tinned food.

This results in the accumulation of plaque on the tooth surface, which in turn calcifies to become bacteria-rich tartar.

When that bacterium invades your pets’ gums it causes painful gingivitis and erodes the tooth root attachment, resulting in damage and tooth loss.

How can you tell if your dog or cat has a toothache?

Dental issues can go unnoticed by pet owners as pets with sore gums, infected mouths and broken teeth may not show pain, and might well continue to eat. Bad breath is one likely sign of infection, as are red inflamed gums, and tartar-stained teeth.

Myth: It’s a common misconception that giving pets dry food to crunch on cleans their teeth. In fact, processed foods leave more particles on the tooth surface than raw foods. Would you eat a cookie to clean your teeth?

Tackling dental health the simple way

There is a simple and inexpensive way to maintain your cats’ and dogs’ dental health!

A natural, balanced fresh meat diet based on fresh meat and raw meaty bones, will naturally maintain your pets’ teeth and gums by balancing saliva and creating a self-cleaning oral environment.

A fresh meat diet prevents plaque formation. The physical effect of chewing soft, raw meaty bones massages gums and acts as an abrasive on the dental surface. During chewing, your pet’s teeth are de-scaled and plaque and tartar are removed.

This natural approach can maintain your pets’ teeth for a lifetime, while preventing doggy breath and tooth pain. Best of all, you may save yourself thousands of dollars in vet’s bills!

Expensive alright for dental work, just payed out another $1,000 for some dental work. Shiatsu are notorious for crook teeth and this is the second time around for out little fella. But of course he is worth it little bastard.

Neck of mutton from an young age prevents most dental problems.

The little fella would think we were trying to poison him if we gave him raw meat. Give him a bone and he burries it then forgets where he left it.
