1

80% of dogs over 3 have dental disease

Plaque, tartar, gingivitis, tooth loss. Silent pain that affects eating, behaviour, and organ health.

2

Daily brushing in 2 minutes

Dog-specific toothpaste (never human), finger brush for beginners. Start slow, reward generously. Daily habit in 2 weeks.

3

Dental chews that actually work

Look for VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) approved products. Not all chews are equal — most are just treats.

4

When professional cleaning is needed

Yellow/brown teeth, red gums, bad breath, difficulty eating. ₹3,000-8,000 under anaesthesia. Worth every rupee.
