Thankful for Pets

Posted on November 9, 2016 by Sandra Wahlert DVM Posted in Education .

woman with doggirl with horseAs Thanksgiving comes around, take time to be thankful for your pets. Sure they can be a lot of work, but the joys they bring us can be unmeasurable. They make us laugh and cry. They comfort us when we are sad and keep us company when we are alone. Sometimes they protect us and sometimes they get us in trouble with the neighbors or animal control.

Show your pet some extra love this year.

Popular requests from the dogs include going out for a walk or run, extra petting, and healthy treats.

Cats might appreciate a new cat tree/scratching post, some cat nip, a sunny window shelf or just a cardboard box.

Horses like apples and carrots or maybe just a saddle that fits.

Little critters are often happiest with a clean cage and a few delicious munchies.

What dental treats actually work?

Look for the VOHC stamp of approval on dental home care products.

What dental treats actually work for decreasing plaque and tartar in my pet’s mouth?

If you are trying to improve the quality of your pet’s mouth, skip the box of bone shaped  treats. Studies have been done to show that both rawhide chews and Greenies can reduce plaque and tartar on your dog’s teeth.

There are some treats specifically designed for cats as well, if they are so inclined to oblige you with a trial.

For a list of pet dental products that have been shown to reduce plaque and tartar visit www.vohc.org and look for their stamp of approval on dental home care products.

Visit your local veterinary office for more tips on oral care in dogs and cats.
