February is Dental Health Month! 🪥

Like us humans, having a healthy mouth, gums, and teeth is very important to your pet’s overall health and well-being. According to the American Veterinary Association, around 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are affected by dental disease by age 3. If left untreated, periodontal/dental disease can lead to major mouth issues such as tooth root abscesses, bone infection of the jaw, and the bacteria can spread to other parts of their bodies such as the heart, kidneys, and other organs. Most cats and dogs are not fans of having their mouths and teeth handled or inspected, this makes it difficult to monitor their dental health and to do traditional human dental health activities such as brushing. The resistance of mouth handling makes preventive dental care in pets that much more important.

The good news is, there are lots of ways you can help your pet have a healthy mouth and teeth with minimal mouth handling! Our Staff at Lizzi & Rocco’s has several favorite tools that the like to do with their pets at home!

Raw Bones & Necks

Raw turkey, duck, or chicken necks are a great, natural way to help your dog or cat keep their chompers clean! Not only do they satisfy your pets’ natural instinct to chew, but raw necks also have several dental benefits. Raw bones have live enzymes that interact with saliva to prevent stinky breath by destroying bad bacteria in their mouths (by an 80% reduction!). Gnawing on the bone also massages gums and scrapes away plaque and tarter build up!

Frozen raw necks are small enough that your dog or cat can chew on them with the hard-to-clean back teeth. Frozen raw necks are also fully consumable, meaning your pet can swallow and digest them, unlike bones.

If frozen raw bones aren't your style, we also have lots of other easy to use products that will keep your pet's chompers F R E S H!

Plaque Off Products is another one of our dental health favorites. Plaque Off is powered by marine kelp and it naturally destroys plaque, prevents tartar from forming on teeth, and helps keep bad breath at bay. Plaque Off is Veterinary Oral Health Council-approved and has been used over 1.5 billion times! Not only is Plaque Off incredibly effective, but it is extremely easy to feed! There are crunchy treats for both cats and dogs that pets love to gobble up! Also for the dogs, there are yummy Plaque Off bones for them to chomp on. Or you can just sprinkle the Plaque-Off Powder on your pet’s food each day!

TropiClean Dental Health Solution for dogs and cats 

Cleaning your pet’s teeth can be easy as keeping them hydrated! To use TropiClean Dental Health Solution for dogs and cats, just pour half a cap full in 8 oz of water! TropiClean Fresh Breath Dental Health Solution provides daily plaque and tatar defense and freshens their breath! TropoClean is tasteless as well, which makes it easy to incorporate into your dog’s routine.

Skout's Honor Dental Wipes and Oral Gel! 

We love Skout's Honor for all of our grooming and cleaning needs! 

ew Skout’s Honor dental wipes and oral gel! The wipes are like a full size baby wipe so they work great for larger dogs. The active ingredient in the entire dental line actually targets plaque (like plaque off does) so it not only breaks down existing build up but also works to prevent more build up! Additionally, all of the ingredients are actually safe for pet digestion

A Little About Us

As pet owners themselves (that’d be Lizzi & Rocco), Jessica and Kyle wanted better, healthier choices for their furry family, so they started offering quality-made, ethically sourced, and more natural pet products. Turns out CoMo wanted that too and our customers helped us build and  grow. 12 years, 2 kids and a bunch more pets later, Jess and Kyle continue living the dream.
