Dental problems in canines

Gum disease affects 1 out of three dogs and 85% of cats. The usual telltale sign is bad breath. Teeth should be white to slightly yellow and gums should be nice and pink.
The bacteria from dental infections can be swallowed and can spread to vital organs such as the liver and kidneys and eventually cause organ failure.
Dental disease is also linked to heart disease. When you pet has dental problems you can help with antioxidants and immune boosting suppliments.
Of course if you get your pet at a young age you can start brushing thier teeth when they are babies and most will get used to thier dental routine.
But as many of us adopt pets that are along in years (Thank the Lord) we have to go with what we have.
When you get a puppy you can massage thier face and gums from the outside,get your pet used to this and you can move inside and massage the gums. This usually gets them used to thier dental routine and makes it a lot easier to stick in the brush and get to cleaning. Though it is never to late to start.
You should always encourage chewing in puppies.
Nutritional support is number one in maintaining a healthy animal on the whole.
The antioxidant coenzyme Q-10 helps by fighting by products in the system or "free radicals" It is widely used in dogs with heart problems which is commonly associated with gingivitus. This particular enzyme helps with inflammation, pain and bleeding associated with gingivitus.
Vitamins c, e, zinc, manganese and vitamin A help to
strenghten tissue.
Vitamin E can be used strait from the capsule of sores.
Food sources with probiotics
and enzymes can greatly improve your pets overall health, it will usually take two or three months and there will be visable improvement.

I have two products that I am featuring on my website this month
Vetri-Science Cell Advance is a suppliment loaded with Coenzyme Q-10, vitamins A,C and E, and over 20 nutrients. This is a excellent product for building up your dogs immune system and kepping them healthy.

The kibble Natures Variety is one of the best pet foods out there. Fresh meat is the first ingredient. Meat and organs make up 40% of the food. After processing the food is supplimented with probiotics,prebiotics and enzymes that would be in raw foods. Prebiotics help to strenghthen the immune system and prebiotics establish a healthy flora in the digestive tract.
