February is Pet Dental Health Month, so it’s the perfect time to raise awareness of the importance of oral hygiene for our furry friends.

Neglecting oral health can lead to serious health complications, making it essential to incorporate proper dental care into your pet’s routine. Not sure where to start? We can help.
At Bugalugs, we offer a premium range of dental care products designed to keep your pet’s teeth clean and their breath fresh. From no-brush products like our Dental Spray to traditional brushing products like our Toothpastes and Toothbrushes, our range makes it easy to maintain your pet’s oral health at home. With something to suit every pet, you’ll be sure to find the perfect dental product for your fur baby.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Dental problems are common in pets, with studies showing that over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop some form of dental disease by the age of three. Poor oral hygiene can lead to painful infections, difficulty eating, and even systemic health issues affecting the heart and kidneys. Keeping on top of your pet’s dental hygiene helps to promote a healthier, more fulfilling life for your fur baby, as well as less frequent expensive vet visits for you.

Tips for Maintaining Your Pet’s Oral Health
Keeping your pet’s teeth clean doesn’t have to be a challenge. With an array of products to choose from, keeping your pet’s teeth clean has never been easier. However, we thought we’d share some top tips to help you get started.
Start Early – Introduce dental care to puppies and kittens early to get them accustomed to the routine. The sooner they get used to having their teeth cleaned the easier it will be as they get bigger.
Encourage Chewing – Providing dental chews or toys can help naturally clean teeth by reducing plaque build up. Our Dental Sticks and our Cheese Bones are some great ways to encourage your pet to chew to help keep their teeth clean.
Schedule Vet Check-ups – Regular veterinary dental exams can help identify and address any oral health issues before they become severe.
Experiment – Experiment with some different dental products to see which are the best fit for your pet. Every pet is different, so see which you find works the best and which they tolerate better.
