We can't just let the month of February pass without making an
article particularly dedicated for your pets. Why do we bother anyway?
It's not as if we are one of the bets pet lovers in the world. No, we're
not. The truth is it is because of you. As a pet owner, you need to
know some things about taking care of animals' dental health. It is
February and aside from celebrating the kind of love you have with your
partner, it is also the time to show your pets some love. February is
Pet Dental Health month, too! After you visit your dentist, go straight
to the nearest veterinary dental clinic in your town.
The thing is everyone is too busy identifying their own dental problems and making a big deal of it that they forget they are not the only ones who have teeth. In fact, they are not the only ones who eat and chew. If you truly care for your pets, you must get yourself into thinking that the same predicaments could also happen to your felines and canines at home. In that case, their dental health becomes your concern as well. However, cognitive concern isn't enough. You have to take action. What's the first thing to do? Take the pet to a veterinary dental clinic? No. You can save that for later.
Checking the signs
It is in identifying the signs that will lead you to take the next step towards giving your pet the oral health it needs. Does your pet have bad breath? Is he or she consistently drooling? Do you often see him or her pawning at the mouth? If you answered yes to most of the questions, then your pet is experiencing some oral health problems at the moment. As a pet owner who's just starting out to take care of animals, ask immediate help to a veterinary dentist in a dental clinic of your choice. The signs you've noticed are enough to for you to make the move. Anyway, there's no better advice than something that a veterinary dentist can give you.
Teaching a routine
Carrying the tips from visiting your pet's dental clinic, you now have a bag of dental tricks you can do to your pet as an act of love. You really can't expect animals to clean and take care of their teeth and gums. As a pet owner, you are given the privilege to do the role of a dental advocate toward animals. You must brush you teeth everyday. Incorporating this to your pet's daily routine might be very hard, but it will be worth it in the long run. To make the task a lot easier, you may use canine toothpaste to make the process more bearable for your dogs and feline toothpaste for your cats.
Operant conditioning
Now this will work best pets! Have you ever heard of operant conditioning? It is the process of learning that highly works of rewards and punishments. Every time your pet cooperates with you in the teeth cleaning process, give him or her a treat. On the other hand, if he or she doesn't, a subtle punishment would do - silent treatment. And you be as creative as you want. You don't want to see your beloved pet in pain, do you?
