When did you last check your best friend's teeth?
August is Pet Dental Month. A little care at home now means fresher breath, comfier days, and fewer trips to the vet for your dog or cat.
Dental health is easy to miss โ until it isn't
Dental disease is one of the most common problems vets see in dogs and cats. The good news? A simple routine at home makes a real difference.
Spot the warning signs
Bad breath, yellow or brown build-up, red gums or pawing at the mouth are often the first clues something's up.
It's about more than breath
Sore teeth and gums make eating uncomfortable. Looking after them helps your pet stay happy and feel their best.
Prevention beats the vet bill
A daily chew or a splash in the water bowl is a small habit that can save on bigger dental treatments later.

Build a simple dental routine
Three easy habits that fit into everyday life โ no wrestling required!
Give a daily chew
Chewing helps scrape away plaque naturally. A KONG or dental chew after dinner does the trick.
Brush or sprinkle
A quick brush with the DentiCare kit, or a scoop of Simply Seaweed on dinner, keeps teeth cleaner between chews.
Feed for dental health
A dental-formulated diet like Black Hawk Healthy Benefits works on teeth with every single meal.
Loved by local pet owners
Great people to deal with. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. All my dog and horse needs in one shop โ and if they haven't got it, they'll get it. The major plus for me is they deliver fast, saving me time to get on with looking after my animals. Thanks guys.
"Tonka is a blue heeler cross kelpie that's pretty tough on toys โ he loves his KONG and it keeps him occupied. I pop his food in it and freeze it so it lasts even longer!"
"Great product. Really helped with the cleaning of our greyhound's teeth. Our girls really love them."
"They've been keeping her teeth nice and white โ and knowing they're from a local business makes it 10 times better. Thank you Paws & Ponies!"

How do I know if my pet has a dental problem?
Common signs include bad breath, yellow or brown tartar on the teeth, red or swollen gums, dropping food, or pawing at the mouth. If you notice any of these, it's worth a chat with your vet โ and we can help with products to support them at home.
Do dental chews and water additives actually work?
As part of a routine, yes โ they help reduce plaque and freshen breath. They work best alongside regular vet check-ups, and brushing if your pet will allow it. Think of them as everyday maintenance, not a one-off fix.
My dog won't let me brush their teeth. What else can I do?
You're not alone! Dental chews, water additives, a seaweed supplement sprinkled on food, and dental diets are all great low-fuss options that make a real difference without a toothbrush in sight.
Do you deliver, or do I need to come in?
Both! We offer free local delivery across South Gippsland, or you're always welcome to pop into our Leongatha store for a hand-picked recommendation.
