Recently, a pet health survey revealed that over 90% of pet owners overlook their pets’ oral care, and 60% of adult dogs and cats suffer from dental calculus. If left untreated for a long time, oral problems can trigger a dangerous chain reaction: dental calculus → periodontitis → systemic inflammation → liver and kidney damage, becoming an "invisible killer" threatening pets’ health. In response to this issue, Wervic has collaborated with pet dentistry experts to launch a scientific dental care solution—the "3-Step At-Home Dental Care Routine"—helping pet owners tackle oral problems easily.
The hazards of pet oral issues are far more serious than imagined. If food residues on pets’ teeth are not cleaned in time, plaque will form within 24 hours. Over time, this plaque calcifies and turns into dental calculus. In the early stages, symptoms may only include bad breath and red, swollen gums. However, if it progresses to periodontitis, the inflammation will damage gum tissue, leading to loose teeth and even tooth loss. More dangerously, bacteria in the mouth can spread throughout the body via the bloodstream, causing inflammatory damage to vital organs like the kidneys and liver. Clinical data shows that pets with severe periodontal disease are 3 times more likely to develop liver and kidney diseases than healthy pets.
"Many pet owners only take their pets to the vet when obvious symptoms appear, such as pain while eating or drooling. By then, the condition has often developed into moderate to severe periodontitis, significantly increasing treatment difficulty and costs," said a pet dentistry expert. "Daily at-home care is the key to preventing oral problems—just three simple steps can effectively reduce the risk of illness."
Choose a pet-specific soft-bristle toothbrush and edible toothpaste. Spend 2 minutes every day cleaning the outer surfaces and chewing surfaces of your pet’s teeth, focusing on removing residues between the teeth.
Give your pet a dental chew after daily meals. Chewing helps rub the tooth surface, reducing plaque buildup.
Use an oral spray 2-3 times a week to inhibit bacterial growth in the mouth and freshen breath.
