Is Dog Bad Breath A Silent Killer?
By Stopbadbreath2
Dog bad breath a silent killer! I can just here it now. This is not an exaggeration, and for that matter cats too. Just imagine a condition that affects you furry friends, but most pet owners often neglect to even look for it.
Im talking specifically in this article about bad breath in dogs, however it can just as easily be applied to cats as well.
After doing alittle research on this topic of bad breath in dogs, I found that a very high percentage of dogs at a certain age have periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is condition in the mouth that over time and without attention to it, break down all the supporting gums and bone that hold the teeth in place.
No not a very pretty picture at all, and it also causes loss of the canines teeth. The bacteria that cause this type of condition not only causes the above mentioned, the bacteria can get loose from the teeth and enter in the dogs bloodstream.
Causing damage to the vital organs in the dogs body such as the kidneys, lungs, heart, and liver. With those kind of damaging results, its no wonder its dubbed the "Silent Killer Of Pets".
As periodontal disease progresses it is marked by bad breath in your dog.
But Wait..
The good news is that this can be prevented. Good oral hygiene for your pets can become as regular a routine, as your daily brushing and flossing.
1. Regular trips to veterinarian.
This may seem pretty obvious, but is often neglected by many pet owners. Really it is the only way to know exactly where you stand in regard to your dogs health today
2. What your eats
Monitor what you feed your dog, can food(soft)has been reported as giving dogs plaque, that
