dental care is as important for your pet as it is for you. Periodontal disease affects 85% of adult dogs and cats and can lead to pain, bad breath and tooth loss. Even worse, chronic oral infection can spread harmful bacteria to other parts of the body, including the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys. Fortunately most periodontal disease is preventable through a program of oral hygiene and regular professional care. Routine home dental care should be a part of every pet's preventive medicine program. Good to Chew As simple as giving a daily treat, great tasting C.E.T. Chews feature the exclusive Dual-Enzyme System to remove plaque and prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria. The plaque-fighting enzymes and natural abrasive cleansing action of C.E.T. Chews help to keep breath fresh and teeth clean. Use C.E.T. Chews daily as a first step toward oral hygiene or on those days when brushing isn't possible. Better to Rinse Chlorhexidine-based C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse and C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Gel can provide effective plaque control without brushing. Simply insert the applicator tip into the area between the teeth and the cheek and apply. The rinse or gel will spread throughout the oral cavity, coating the teeth with the anti-plaque chlorhexidine formulation and protecting against the accumulation of bacteria. Best to Brush Of course, just as it is for us, tooth brushing is the best method of ensuring that our pets will enjoy good dental health. Daily brushing with C.E.T. Toothpastes and C.E.T. Toothbrushes provides the very best in Home Dental Care for your pet. C.E.T. Toothpastes are specifically formulated to be safe, effective, and appealing to your dog or cat, and unlike "people" toothpastes, are meant to be swallowed. C.E.T. Toothbrushes are designed to reach all surfaces of your pet's teeth and the soft bristles will not irritate your pet's sensitive gums. Just a few minutes a day are all it takes for the best dental care available.United States
