Teeth Cleaning
Maintaining good dental hygiene is a vital yet often overlooked part of responsible dog ownership. While regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and routine veterinary care are essential, oral health plays a significant role in a dog’s overall wellbeing.
At How4you Canine, we take a proactive approach to canine care. As part of our commitment to supporting long-term health, we are pleased to offer complimentary teeth cleaning for dogs that attend our group walks three times per week.
Why Regular Teeth Cleaning Matters
1. Helps Prevent Dental Disease
Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions in dogs, with the majority showing signs by the age of three. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis, infections, and tooth decay. Regular teeth cleaning helps manage this buildup and reduces the risk of more serious dental problems.
2. Supports Overall Health
Oral bacteria do not remain confined to the mouth. If left untreated, they can enter the bloodstream and potentially affect major organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. Maintaining good dental hygiene contributes to improved overall health and longevity.
3. Reduces Unpleasant Breath
Persistent bad breath is often an early indicator of dental disease. Routine teeth cleaning helps control odour-causing bacteria, resulting in fresher breath and improved oral comfort.
4. Minimises Pain and Tooth Loss
Dental issues can cause significant discomfort, even when dogs do not show obvious signs. Preventative dental care helps reduce the likelihood of painful infections, loose teeth, and tooth loss, supporting better quality of life.
How We Do It
🐾 Our Signature Post-Refresh Routine
Oral hygiene shouldn't be an afterthought. After our adventures in the Eastbourne countryside, we settle down for refreshments and "spa time.
Color-Coded Care: For maximum hygiene, every dog in our care has their own color-coded toothbrush. No sharing, no cross-contamination—just personalized care.
The Power of Two: Because there are always two of us on every walk, one walker provides calm reassurance and a steady hand for the brushing, while the other walker ensures the rest of the pack is settled and happy.
Consistency is Key: We offer this specialized teeth-cleaning service to all dogs who join us three times per week, ensuring they maintain a healthy, sparkling smile between vet visits.
