Why is dental health so important?
Did you know that 4 out of 5 cats and dogs over the age of 3 suffer from dental disease? This isn’t just a minor issue; it can lead to serious health problems. Untreated dental disease can cause pain and lead to further illnesses, affecting vital organs like the kidneys and liver. At RSPCA Victoria, we recognise the importance of maintaining your pet’s dental health. Early intervention is key. It can save costly vet bills and save your pet’s teeth.

Poor dental health in pets can lead to:

- Pain
If left untreated, these issues can escalate, leading to the need for costly treatments and tooth extractions.
Recognising dental disease in pets
Potential signs include:
- Bad breath
- Discoloured/dirty looking teeth
- Dogs chewing rocks or wood
- Anxious dogs chewing on things excessively
- Rubbing or pawing at the mouth
- Sudden or excessive chewing or salivation

Cats with dental disease can be particularly challenging to diagnose and can continue to eat even with significant dental pain.
