Dental toys for dogs: keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy

We all want our dogs to be healthy and happy. However, many dog owners don’t know that dental health is essential for their dog’s general wellbeing. The accumulation of tartar, bad breath and gum problems may lead to more serious diseases. Luckily, there’s a fun and effective way to combat this: dental toys for dogs.  
 

Why is it important to look after your dog’s dental health?

Your dog’s dental health is much more important than it appears, as it directly affects their wellbeing and general health. For example, if you don’t look after their teeth and gums, dogs may develop tartar, plaque, gingivitis and periodontitis, conditions that cause pain, inflammation and even tooth loss. Additionally, dental health is directly related to the health of vital organs, and buccal bacteria can reach our furry friends’ heart, liver or kidneys, thereby increasing the risk of serious disease. Fortunately, dental toys, regular brushing and veterinary checks can prevent dental problems easily and avoid painful and costly interventions in the future. 

A toy for cleaning your dog’s teeth is the perfect solution, as it not only improves their dental hygiene but also stimulates them mentally and physically, strengthens their jaws and gums, prevents serious dental problems and enables your dog to have fun while looking after their health.

Tooth cleaning toy for dogs: how to choose the right one

Keep the following criteria in mind when choosing a tooth cleaning toy for your dog:

• Size. It should be proportional to the breed and age of your dog.
• Material. It should be tough, non-toxic and hard-wearing.
• Hardness. Keep the dog’s bite strength in mind so you can choose the most suitable toy.
• Extras. Some of these toys can be filled with treats or a toothpaste that is suitable for dogs. This will increase their motivation to bite the toy.
