Podcast: How Dental Disease Impacts Pet Health—And What Pet Owners Can Do About It
Stinky breath may be the first thing you notice, but what’s happening in your pet’s mouth to cause it is much more nefarious.
This National Pet Dental Health Month, Barking Mad is breaking down why dental disease is one of the most overlooked—and one of the most impactful—health issues facing pets today. Joined by veterinary dentists, formulators, and longtime innovators in pet oral care, hosts Dr. Stephanie Clark and Jordan Tyler bite into the science behind dental disease and walk through realistic ways pet parents can build better dental routines for their pets. From practical toothbrushing techniques to understanding what dental chews, diets, and additives can (and can’t) do, this conversation emphasizes progress over perfection.
What You’ll Learn 🔍
- How dental health is linked to overall health—and how dental disease fuels disease throughout the body
- Why daily toothbrushing is the gold standard, and how to make it achievable
- How dental chews, diets, and water additives fit into a layered oral care plan
- What the VOHC seal means and how to evaluate dental products without it
Dental care is one of the simplest forms of preventive medicine pet parents can practice. By managing plaque and inflammation early, it’s possible to reduce the ripple effects dental disease can have throughout our pets’ bodies. Just remember: Progress always beats perfection when it comes to pet dental health.
