How much dental care does your dog REALLY need?

Feb 19, 2025

There is so much misinformation out there about canine dental health.  I collected your questions from our Facebook group, and Dr. Niemiec of Veterinary Dental Specialties was generous enough to answer them! 

In part 1, Dr. Niemiec addressed questions related to dental health, veterinary care, and pain, including: 

  • How often should your dog have dental x-rays?
  • What can you do for your very senior dog who has bad breath? 
  • Do worn teeth cause pain? 
  • What other health issues can dental disease cause? 

and more! Here's part 1 of the interview:   

 

In part 2, Dr. Niemiec addressed questions related to home care, including: 

  • What dental chews really help? 
  • If you're using dental chews or a dental diet, how often do you need to brush your dog's teeth?
  • Which chews are dangerous for your dog's teeth? 
  • Is kibble bad for teeth?

and more! Video coming next week.

Don't forget! Until the end of February, our online tooth brushing course comes with a FREE guide to low-stress vet visits, and the option to get discounted 1-on-1 training.
