Dogs Have Teeth Too
What are we doing to protect our dogs from dental disease? I’m not sure the average dog owner knows just how easy it is to care for your dog’s teeth.
Home dental care is one of the most important things you can do for your dog, in addition to giving him food and love. But fewer than 10 percent of dog owners brush their pet’s teeth on a regular basis…if at all.
That has to change because 75 to 85 percent of dogs and cats over the age of three experience some degree of dental disease, which has been associated with heart and kidney disease. This is one of the most critical things that dog owners need to understand… Dental disease affects more than just the dog’s mouth. Diabetes, heart disease and sinus problems can all be affected by problems with the teeth. Problems in one area of the body often affect other areas. For instance, small dogs that reverse sneeze or have eye drainage very often have significant sinus inflammation from severe periodontal disease.

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
