Senior Pups and Tooth Loss

 

Do you own a senior pup? If so then you may already be familiar with how important it is to keep up with their dental health. Older dogs tend to have more teeth that are decaying or teeth that are broken. As a dog ages the teeth may become more brittle. Changing your seniors diet to a softer food can help keep the teeth healthy and prevent breaking. Although older dogs can lose teeth due to age, some experts believe it’s mainly due to poor dental health. You can help your senior by taking him to the vet for regular dental checkups and cleanings. Other reasons for teeth loss in seniors could include trauma or injury. The younger you start your pup on a dental program the better. Even if your dog is well into his senior years, routine dental care can still help preserve his teeth. Call your vet clinic Portland, OR to learn more. Visit this website Wildwood Animal Hospital and make an appointment.
