The Ultimate Guide to Vivus Pets Dental Chews: A Gentle Solution for Your Dog’s Oral Health
At Vivus Pets, we know that every dog is unique, especially when it comes to their oral health. If you’re looking for a solution to improve your dog’s dental hygiene without causing discomfort, you’re in the right place. Our Vivus Pets Dental Chews are more than just a treat—they’re a gentle yet effective way to keep your dog’s mouth healthy. Here’s everything you need to know about why our chews stand out and how they can make a difference in your pet’s life.
The Importance of Dog Oral Health
Did you know that over 80% of dogs show signs of dental disease by the age of three? According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs. Poor dog dental hygiene can lead to serious issues like gum disease, tooth loss, and even infections that spread to vital organs like the heart and kidneys.
Despite these risks, many pet owners overlook the importance of dog oral care. Since dogs can’t brush their own teeth, they rely on us to keep their mouths clean and healthy. That’s where dental chews like Vivus Pets come in, providing a convenient and effective way to maintain your dog’s dental health.
What Makes Vivus Pets Dental Chews Different?
Many dental chews rely on abrasive scrubbing to clean teeth, but that’s not suitable for all dogs—especially those with sensitive gums or dental pain. Our Vivus Pets Dental Chews are designed to be soft and gentle. They adhere to your dog’s teeth and stay in the mouth longer, allowing the active ingredients to thoroughly coat every tooth and gum, ensuring complete coverage and long-lasting effects.
How Do Vivus Pets Dental Chews Work?
Our dental chews work through a three-step process that’s both gentle and effective:
-
Natural Antimicrobials for Dog Oral Health: We’ve infused kelp and green tea extract, both natural antimicrobials, into our chews. These ingredients help eliminate harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of gum disease and promoting overall dog dental hygiene.
-
Enzymatic Blend for Tartar Prevention: Our chews contain a specialized enzymatic blend that helps break down plaque and prevent new tartar from forming. While they won’t remove existing tartar, they’re essential for stopping new buildup and keeping your dog’s mouth in top shape.
-
Natural Zeolites and Fresh Breath: Natural zeolites gently clean teeth without the need for harsh scrubbing. Additionally, cinnamon and parsley work together to freshen your dog’s breath, leaving their mouth smelling clean and healthy.
The Dangers of Ignoring Your Dog’s Oral Hygiene
If you think doggy breath is just part of life, think again. Bad breath is often a sign of dental disease, which can lead to:
- Gingivitis: Gum inflammation that causes redness, swelling, and discomfort.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease that leads to tooth loss and severe pain.
- Bacterial Infections: Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream, causing infections that affect vital organs.
These issues are preventable with regular dog oral care, including using high-quality dental chews like Vivus Pets.
Why Are Vivus Pets Dental Chews Safe for All Dogs?
Pet owners often worry about whether a dental chew is safe and gentle enough for their dog. Vivus Pets Dental Chews are specifically designed to be soft, making them ideal for dogs of all ages and sizes. We use natural ingredients that are effective and safe, and because our chews don’t rely on abrasive scrubbing, they’re far less likely to irritate your dog’s gums.
How Often Should You Give Your Dog Vivus Pets Dental Chews?
The recommended routine depends on your dog’s size:
- Small Dogs: Give one stick in the evening after their last meal. This allows the active ingredients to work overnight, promoting better oral health while they sleep.
- Larger Dogs: Larger breeds can benefit from 2 to 4 sticks per day. You can give these chews throughout the day, whether after meals or as breath-freshening treats.
Why This Routine Matters
Our chews are designed to stick to your dog’s teeth and stay in their mouth for an extended period. By giving the chew in the evening for small dogs, it stays in their mouth overnight, helping to reduce plaque, tartar, and bacteria while they sleep. For larger breeds, spreading out the chews during the day keeps their mouth fresh and clean after meals, supporting continuous dog dental care.
Are There Digestive Concerns?
Vivus Pets Dental Chews are easy on your dog’s digestive system. However, like any new addition to their diet, introduce the chews gradually and monitor your dog for any changes. If you notice any digestive issues, consult your veterinarian.
How to Tell If the Chews Are Working
You should start to see improvements in your dog’s oral health within a few weeks of consistent use. Look for signs like healthier gums, reduced plaque, and fresher breath. The key is consistency—regular use brings the best results.
Are Vivus Pets Dental Chews Cost-Effective?
Absolutely! Regular use of Vivus Pets Dental Chews can help you avoid costly dental procedures down the line. By keeping your dog’s mouth healthy between professional cleanings, these chews provide long-term savings and peace of mind.
