Daily Dental Care

Daily Dental Care. BY THE NUMBERS.

Dental disease affects 80% of adult dogs1.

Dental disease affects up to 96% of senior dogs over 12 years of age2.

Only 14% of pets receive dental care from a vet3.

Only 2% of pet parents brush their dog’s teeth4.

Why your dog’s
dental health matters

Dental disease is the number one health issue for dogs, affecting 80% of adult dogs and up to 96% of senior dogs. That’s why it’s more important than ever to take an active role in your pup’s at-home dental care.  Poor oral health can negatively impact your dog’s overall health and can affect the liver, kidney and heart. Unless you give the right combination of care.

Daily Dental Care: Part of Your Dog’s Overall Wellness

Plaque and tartar aren’t your best friend’s best friend. But daily brushing isn’t always easy, for you or your dog. That’s why we recommend a WHIMZEES a day between yearly vet visits. Giving your dog a WHIMZEES daily dental treat is the most convenient, effective and playful way to reduce plaque and tartar, which can start to build up in as little as 24 hours.5

Vet Care + Daily WHIMZEES Care = Total Dog Dental Care

Vet Care + Daily WHIMZEES Care

 

= Total Dog Dental Care

“The importance of looking after your dog’s teeth is critical not just to their oral health but to their total wellbeing. Left untreated, dental disease can cause not just tooth loss and severe pain but also systemic health issues such as heart, kidney and liver disease.”
