Linda – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

How Do You Know if Your Pet Has Periodontal Disease? The hallmark symptom of periodontal disease in pets is bad breath. I’m not talking about run-of-the-mill dog or cat breath, but the kind of breath that makes you turn your head away when your kitty or pooch comes looking for a smooch.

If you mention that breath to your vet, he’s likely to recommend that you brush your pets’ teeth – a task that can be messy and stressful for both you and your pet.

Then, when you take it a step further and consider that dogs are known for eating everything from your trash to dead animals to their own feces, even that particular theory doesn’t quite stick. If a dog has bacteria from feces or a dead animal in its mouth, and that dog bites you, there’s a pretty good chance that the bacteria from that dog’s bite could cause an infection.

When you take your furry friends to the vet, it’s likely that one of the first things the vet will check is their teeth and gums. Why is that? Quite simply, the health of your pets’ teeth is an excellent indicator of your pets’ overall health. Studies have revealed that a decline in your pet’s oral health can lead to systemic health problems, like heart disease, kidney failure and diabetes. See, as the gums deteriorate, they become more mesh-like and are far less able to block the entry of bacteria.
