An adult dog has 48 teeth. However, puppies only have 28. At around 4 months of age, their permanent teeth start to come in. Unfortunately, 80% of dogs develop gum disease by 3 years of age. Here are a few tips to help keep your pet’s teeth in good condition:
1. Brush them regularly. Investing in a doggie toothbrush is the surest way to keep your pet’s teeth white and clean.
2. Give your pet chew toys. Chew toys can help remove the tarter from your pet’s teeth, while supplying him with hours of fun.
3. Feed your pet dry food. This helps slightly in maintaining clean teeth, and is preferable to canned food.
