My
dog has smelly breath. What can I do about it?
There are many preventative treatments for dental health
in dogs. Firstly however, you should get your
pet's mouth checked to find out why it is smelly, as it
may not be a dental health problem. If your pet has dental
disease, your vet might suggest a scale and polish and/or
extractions. This procedure is done under general
anaesthethic and allows the vet to fully examine the extent
of your pet's dental health and to remove any tartar or
plaque. Once this is done, regular brushing of teeth is
advised to prevent dental problems arising again.
I have been advised to get my puppy insured, but I am a
bit reluctant as I feel it is unnecessary, when she is
young, fit and well. Why should I throw my money away?
Getting your puppy insured when he is fit and well is advisable,
as you will not have any exclusions on your policy. Most
insurance companies will put exclusions on policies if
an animal has had treatment for any condition prior to
the
insurance being set up. This can be expensive if your pet
develops chronic problems that will require long term treatment.
