Pets get bad breath too! How often has your loved one given you a wet smooch, or sat next to you panting and all you can think is, wow, you need a breath mint! Aside from bad breath, there are many reasons to brush your pets teeth. Gum Disease, loose teeth, abscesses are all problems associated with not taking care of your pets teeth. And studies have shown that 98% of dogs with bad breath are suffering from periodontal disease, which is a result of plaque build up.

- Human toothpaste, while not poisonous, is not meant to be swallowed.
- Pets should not have toothpastes with fluoride.
- Human toothpaste foams because it contains sodium lauryl sulphate. Cats hate this. So do many dogs.
