Poodle Dental Care
Not very long ago, dog owners (and even veterinarians) believed that when a dog chewed on rawhide or dry dog food, that this sufficiently cleaned the teeth. We now know that this is far from true. Dogs do not develop cavities in the same way that people do, however they are very susceptible to tooth decay and infections.
Daily care in the form of brushing is vital to maintain the health of your Poodle. Toy Poodles are especially vulnerable to teeth issues, which can lead to discomfort, tooth loss and dangerous infection. All dogs should be trained to have their teeth brushed at home, as part of their daily grooming routine. Learn how to train your dog to sit nicely for cleanings and what you need to know about dental care. Read More
