Dental care for cats and dogs
Dental care for cats and dogs is just as important as taking care of your own teeth. Just like humans, cats and dogs can suffer from bad breath, plaque and dental problems. Regular dental care prevents dental disease and subsequent, costly veterinary interventions.
For our pets, their teeth and mouth do much more than just eat food. Their mouths are used as hands for picking things up, and of course for grooming. This means that without good oral hygiene, dental problems like smelly breath, plaque, or more serious issues like periodontal disease can occur.
To help you keep on top of your pet’s oral hygiene Beaphar offers a wide range of dental care solutions for your cat or dog.
Brushing - the gold standard in dental hygiene
For dogs and cats, the Beaphar Toothbrush and Toothpaste kit is a gold standard approach to oral hygiene. It combines an ergonomic, double-ended toothbrush, designed to target hard-to-reach teeth of all sizes, with an advanced dual-enzyme toothpaste to help fight bacteria, break down plaque and reduce tartar build-up.
For a healthier mouth between brushing, we recommend adding a scoop of Beaphar Dental Powder to their food daily.
A sprinkle a day helps keep decay away
For cats and dogs, Beaphar Dental Powder complements your pet’s oral care to provide a healthier mouth between brushing, whilst supporting a low-calorie diet. With no hidden sugars or additives, brown seaweed has proven properties to counteract underlying causes of tooth decay. Even after ingestion, it continues to work with your pet’s saliva to break down and reduce tartar build-up and bad breath.
