Innovations in pet dental care

Technological advances have enabled us to develop ever more effective and practical products. At Pitou Minou & Compagnons, we offer you innovations such as:

How to make your pet complacent

It’s normal for pets to be reluctant at first when it comes to dental care. Here are a few tips to gradually get them used to it:

1. Start gently: Let your pet sniff the toothbrush or toothpaste before you start. Familiarize him with the sensation by gently rubbing his muzzle with your finger.
2. Use treats as motivation: Reward him after each session to create a positive association.
3. Progress gradually: Never force your pet. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of brushing.
4. Choose a calm moment: Choose a time when your pet is relaxed, for example after a walk or a play session.
5. Be patient: It takes time for a pet to get used to a new routine. Persevere without rushing.

Brushing techniques and frequency

To maximize the effectiveness of dental care, follow these best practices:

• Brush regularly: Ideally, your pet’s teeth should be brushed every day. However, even two or three times a week can have a significant impact.
• Adopt the right technique: Use small, circular movements to clean gums and teeth. Concentrate on the molars, where tartar tends to accumulate.
• Watch for signs of dental problems: Reddening of the gums, persistent bad breath or bleeding are signs that a veterinarian should be consulted.

Prevent costly scaling

Regular dental care can help avoid costly treatments such as scaling under anaesthetic. These procedures, although sometimes necessary, can be prevented by constant care. By taking preventive measures, you can avoid not only additional costs, but also unnecessary pain for your companion.
