For most of us, our furry friends are like family. But we may be overlooking one of their most critical needs.

“By the age of three, 70 percent of cats and 80 percent of dogs have some form of periodontal disease, which can take years off a pet’s life,” explains Oxyfresh Vice President of Marketing Melissa Gulbranson. “That’s why we developed Oxyfresh Pet Dental Water Additive for both cats and dogs. It safely and effectively cleans pets’ teeth and gums, helps fight tartar and gently neutralizes cat and dog bad breath.”

Starting a dental routine

Early signs of dental disease in pets include bad breath, yellow tartar buildup on the teeth and red and swollen gums. Early detection of your pet’s dental disease is crucial. To detect dental disease early, dental evaluations should be part of your pet’s annual exam.

“Pet parents just simply add Oxyfresh Pet Dental Water Additive to their water bowl each day, and it works like magic to neutralize pet bad breath.”

She also recommends that pet parents brush their cat’s or dog’s teeth with Oxyfresh’s unique Pet Dental Gel Toothpaste, if possible.

Knowing what to look for

Choose a clean formula like Oxyfresh with no unnecessary ingredients. Also, make certain it’s 100 percent non-toxic.
