Top Dogs Prone to Dental Problems
Anyone who has a beloved pet knows they would do anything to ensure that their pet’s health stays in top shape. However, even with the best care, some dogs are just predisposed to living with certain health problems. Over the next few months, we’ll take a look at different breeds and how their genetics impact skin or ear health, and dental problems.
For now, let’s examine some of the top dog breeds most prone to dental problems and how Oratene® products can help prevent and relieve some of the symptoms of oral issues.
Pug
Although these pups are the talk of the town in most social circles, they are notorious for having problems due to teeth crowding in their smaller than average jaws. While your pug may be the cutest part of your world, keep in mind that without proper oral care, your pooch may be prone to problems like:
- Excessive plaque
- Gingivitis
- Periodontal disease
- Tooth loss
Chihuahua
Chihuahua’s are another small breed that suffers from overcrowded teeth. However, the issues with these pups can lead to more severe problems.
Chihuahuas are notorious for not losing their baby teeth and having their mouths become even more crowded than they already would be. This can quickly lead to dental diseases that often result in the deterioration of these dog’s very petite jawbones.
Greyhound
Without a proper oral care regimen, your Greyhound could easily succumb to periodontal disease. This not only leads to discolored gums and loose/missing teeth but it also heavily impacts your dog’s ability to eat comfortably.
Boxer
Boxers are only one of the many breeds that suffer from a condition called gingival hyperplasia. This causes the dog’s gums to thicken up and create a painful sensation if plaque is allowed to accumulate on the overgrown gums.
Other breeds known to face gingival hyperplasia are:
- Bulldogs
- Mastiffs
- Great Danes
- Collies
