| "Help! My Pet Needs a Breath Mint!" | ||
|
|
It's national pet dental
health month and HPN is all over it. Pet dental health is very
important to us all year round. That's why we formulated several products
to help keep our pets' mouths healthy, clean smelling and sparkling.
Many veterinarians stress the importance of oral hygiene because tooth
and gum problems are common medical conditions seen in pets. If left
unchecked, an unhealthy mouth can affect the liver, kidneys, heart
and even the brain. |
|
| So
when you lean in to give your pet a smooch, ask yourself "does my
pet need a breath mint?" Studies show that 98% of pets with bad breath
are suffering from severe plaque build up. Bad breath not only means
that your pet's mouth may be a warehouse for unhealthy bacteria, tartar
and plaque, but it can also point to unhealthy intestines. In addition,
the quality of your pet's food can contribute to the status of your
pet's breath. Low quality food can cause digestive problems, thus
promoting bad breath. Easily digestible food such as Life's Abundance
works to promote intestinal harmony. |

| Can I Share My Toothpaste With My Pet? | ||
 |
Absolutely
not!
Pets aren't like us: they swallow whatever you use to clean their teeth. Human toothpaste simply isn't edible. Nor is the heavy minty flavor really desirable to pets. Human toothpaste can give your pet some serious stomach problems. You're better off using our dental liquid for a fresh smelling smile! |

| Did
you know... Certain breeds of dogs and cats are genetically predisposed to unhealthy teeth and gums? For example, the Maltese is the number one dog breed with tooth and gum problems. In the cat world, the Siamese and the Abyssinian, charming as they are, have serious tooth problems and often get some of their teeth pulled during their youth. Other factors include viruses, bacteria and not enough abrasive foods. |
