Indiana's PSA for Dog's Against Dentures

WATCH INDIANA'S MESSAGE

Most of you know by know that MARS / Pedigree was generous enough to send me to the most amazing event ever - BLOG PAWS 2010 a social media conference for Pet Bloggers. In exchange they have asked me to learn about several of their campaigns and pass along the information to you my reader.

Today I am going to talk about dental health and how it is connected to the overall health of our dogs.

4 out of 5 dogs over the age of three have gum disease.

As cute as this video is it conveys and important message for pet owners about how important it is to keep dogs teeth and mouths healthy. This is even more important in breeds like Cavaliers that are genetically prone to Heart Disease.

Did you know that oral health issues are the most common health problems reported in dogs? The fact is, as many as 80% of dogs develop some form of periodontal disease by the age of three. Dry kibble that is not mixed with water is a great way to help keep your dogs teeth clean and healthy. But if you are like me I have to add water to Davinia and Indiana's food because she is a hoover vacuum and forgets to chew. Which means that she and Davinia need something to help them keep their teeth clean and healthy.

For the oral health of your pets, a daily home dental program—including tooth brushing—is an important step for owners to take in between annual vet visits. As part of that daily program, dental chews can provide a simple and effective way of helping clean a dog's teeth. Results of third-party clinical testing show that PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX® reduces tartar buildup by up to 80% when used as part of a daily oral care program.

I am actually rather impressed with the ingredients and the fact that it is not a glorified raw hide bone. Indiana cannot have treats with mean or meat fat in them unless they are fresh just cooked meat or her food otherwise she gets really bad upset tummies.
