Dentistry – why it is important to take care of the oral hygiene of our pets

Improper care of teeth and gums can cause a lot of problems that result in great discomfort for your pet. If your teeth and gums are not kept clean, bacteria and food residues can accumulate on the surface of your teeth and lead to tartar formation. Tartar becomes a source of gum irritation and leads to periodontal disease, which leads to tooth loss and gingivitis. In addition, poor dental care increases the risk of developing various infections in the mouth, which can lead to serious diseases.

If the teeth and gums are not kept clean, bacteria, and food debris can collect on the surface of the teeth and lead to tartar formation. Tartar becomes a source of gum irritation and leads to periodontal disease, which leads to tooth loss and gingivitis. In addition, poor dental care increases the risk of developing various infections in the mouth, which can lead to serious diseases.

Bad breath and the development of diseases

One of the clearest signs of poor animal oral hygiene is bad breath. This indicates an accumulation of bacteria in the mouth, which decompose and release gases. In addition, if the teeth and gums are not looked after, various diseases can develop, such as stomatitis and gingivitis, which can also cause bad breath.

How to maintain oral hygiene

To keep our pets’ teeth and gums healthy, regular oral hygiene is essential. Experts recommend brushing your pet’s teeth at least twice a week, using special toothbrushes and toothpaste for pets. If your pet is not used to brushing, start with a soft toothbrush that can be soaked in water or natural chamomile decoction. There are also special toys and foods to look after your pet’s dental health. These helps remove plaque and massage the gums, which improves circulation.

In addition, regular check-ups with your vet are recommended to maintain your pet’s oral hygiene. Specialists will be able to detect early signs of dental and gum disease and take steps to treat them. The vet can also perform a professional cleaning of your pet’s teeth using special instruments.

In conclusion, good oral hygiene is essential for the health and well-being of our pets. Proper care of the teeth and gums can help prevent many problems and diseases, as well as keeping your pet’s breath fresh. Regular visits to the vet and the right choice of pet dental care products will help keep your pet’s oral health at a high level.

Chipping pets: advantages and features

Pet chipping is becoming an increasingly popular method of identification. This is a procedure where a chip with a unique identification number is inserted into the subcutaneous area and remains with the animal for the rest of its life. In this article, we will look at the benefits of chipping and the specifics of this procedure.

Crossing the border

If you plan to cross the border with your pet, you should be aware that a 2002 European Union directive requires electronic identification of animals. Tattoos can no longer be used as identifiers. Chipping is the safest and most convenient way to identify pets when crossing borders.

Exhibitions

Individual identification of animals is extremely important at exhibitions, as it eliminates the possibility of substitution of elite animals. The electronic chip protects the animal from fraudulent substitutions at various exhibitions and when travelling within the country. The presence of a chip is mandatory for participation in exhibitions. Its number must be recorded in the pedigree. It identifies the cat or dog and eliminates the possibility of substitution.

Registration

The microchip makes it easier to keep records of patients in veterinary clinics. It reduces the time spent searching for information about the animal, its health status and medical history.

Search for missing animals

The presence of a chip makes it easier and faster to find a lost pet. Electronic identification significantly optimizes the search for the owner in situations where the animal is lost.

In addition, the current legislation of many countries, obliges pet owners to have their pets chipped. This is because microchipping helps control the animal population, prevents animal trafficking, and increases public safety.

Microchipping is a safe and painless procedure for animals. The procedure does not require any special preparation and is performed quickly.

However, it is important to note that pet microchipping is not a panacea and does not guarantee complete protection against pet loss or theft. In some cases, technical issues may arise due to inconsistencies between chips from different manufacturers, as well as damaged or malfunctioning chips.

However, the benefits of pet chipping far outweigh the possible risks and problems. This procedure not only helps to identify animals and keep track of their movements, but also increases public safety. Therefore, if you care about your pets and want to ensure their safety, we recommend that you contact our veterinarian and make an appointment for microchipping.

Emergency conditions, don’t wait!

When our pets get sick or injured, we often hope that things will resolve themselves. However, just as in human medicine, time is of the essence in animal treatment. Emergencies can occur at any time, so it is important to know how and when to intervene immediately.

Immediate intervention in emergencies is crucial for animals. If you do not take action in time, the animal may lose its life. Therefore, critical moments such as severe pain, bleeding, difficulty breathing, convulsions, falls or bruises require a quick response and emergency care.

Examples of animal emergencies can be varied. They can include heart attacks, poisoning, respiratory failure, dislocations, broken bones, bleeding, birth complications, etc. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to determine when these situations will occur, so you should always be prepared to take action.
