When should I use the Virbac Dental Brushing Kit for Dogs & Cats for Daily Oral Hygiene?
Brushing your dog's or cat's teeth is one of the simple gestures that can make a lasting difference to oral health. As with us, food residues accumulate daily on your pet's teeth, gradually forming invisible plaque. Without regular maintenance, this plaque mineralizes and becomes tartar, leading to gum inflammation, bad breath and, ultimately, toothache.
Virbac's Dental Brushing Kit has been designed to establish an effective and safe routine. It includes a toothpaste for dogs and cats, a fingergard and a soft-bristle toothbrush with two heads adapted to different jaw sizes. Each accessory plays a precise role, like the pieces of a puzzle, to facilitate learning and improve cleaning quality.
Enzymatic toothpaste acts like a team of micro-cleaners. Thanks to its patented enzyme complex, it stimulates the mouth's natural defense mechanisms against plaque and tartar formation. It doesn't just mask odours, it acts directly at source, like a self-cleaning system that supports the oral balance day after day.
The special toothbrush reaches difficult areas, such as the groove between tooth and gum, where problems most often start. Its shape and soft bristles respect sensitive tissues and avoid the injuries that could be caused by an unsuitable human brush. To maintain the work done with the toothbrush and enzymatic dentrifice, we recommend the use of chewable flap-type treats.
Fingering devices make the first steps easier. It gently accustoms the animal to the contact and taste of toothpaste, and can also be used on cats. This introductory phase makes brushing calmer and encourages your companion to embrace this new oral hygiene ritual for dogs and cats.
To complete this routine and vary the tools according to your preferences, you can combine this kit with the Beaphar Toothpaste and Toothbrush Combi-Pack, an interesting combination to reinforce the synergy between mechanical action and enzymatic support.
How to use this Hygiene Kit to help your pet maintain good teeth?
Instructions for use
Choose a quiet moment when your dog or cat is relaxed. Start by familiarizing it with the gesture by stroking it as usual, then gently lift its lips to expose its teeth. Place a small dab of toothpaste on your finger and let him taste it. The poultry taste is generally well accepted.
For the first few weeks, it's best to use your fingertips. Apply a little toothpaste and gently rub a tooth and the adjacent gums with slow, circular movements. When your pet is comfortable, gradually switch to the kit toothbrush, adapting the head to the size of its jaw.
Increase the number of teeth brushed day by day. Pay particular attention to the back teeth, areas prone to tartar build-up. Brush for about 30 seconds on each side of the jaw. Daily brushing is ideal, or at least three times a week for maintenance.
