Research indicates that proper oral health can extend the life of pets by as much as two to five years.

November 29th, 2005 – Often referred to as a joke or just an unpleasant reality of life, studies confirm that “doggie” and “tuna” breath may be a sign of a more serious problem affecting dogs and cats. www.petbadbreath.com is helping to educate pet owners on how a daily oral health program using effective pet oral hygiene products available via their website will not just eliminate bad breath, but can also make their animal companions live a happier and healthier life.

"The most common problem I see in my practice during every physical examination I do is dental disease" says Dr. Greg McWatt, DVM. Research indicates that around 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over the age of three suffer from periodontal disease - a serious deterioration of the gums and supporting bones of the teeth. The bacteria that cause this disease can enter the bloodstream and potentially cause infection to vital organs leaving this disease to be known as a 'Silent Killer of Pets.' "The reason these problems exist in such high percentages is due to the fact that many owners are not compliant with home care systems and dental cleaning and polishing" says McWatt. However, a daily oral health program using effective pet oral hygiene products has been proven to not only eliminate bad breath in pets, but to also significantly reduce the threat of periodontal disease and enable animal companions to live happier and healthier lives.

A line of products offered at petbadbreath.com can help pet owners regain control of their pet's oral health and promote a healthier life for their animal companions. Now, a simple and effective oral hygiene program for pets can start right at their water bowls. The Oral Hygiene Solution is a non-toxic, clear, odorless solution that is easily added to a dog or cat's drinking water to promote healthy gums, eliminate bad breath odors, and reduce the formation of plaque and tartar. Used every day, this solution is up to 50% as effective as brushing an animal's teeth and represents a solid headway towards a pet's complete oral hygiene program. Combined with the Pet Oral Gel that is rubbed along a pet's gums and teeth, these innovative products can immediately help pet owners start an effective oral health program for their dog or cat that can be up to 80% as effective as brushing.

In addition to this type of daily maintenance, routine brushing of pets' teeth remains a critical part of an effective oral hygiene plan. According to petbadbreath.com, pet owners should use a toothpaste or an oral gel designed specifically for pets and should ideally begin an oral health program for their pets when they are a puppy or kitten (if the pet is older, brushing is still encouraged but may take more time and patience on the parts of both pet and owner). As always, regularly scheduled veterinarian visits with a dental exam are very important. "A compliant owner using easy to use dental homecare systems can increase their pet's quality and quantity of life exponentially" says to McWatt.
