| "Help! My Pet Needs a Breath Mint!" | |||
|
|
It's national pet
dental health month and HPN is all over it. Pet dental
health is very important to us all year round. That's why we
formulated several products to help keep our pets' mouths
healthy, clean smelling and sparkling. Many veterinarians stress
the importance of oral hygiene because tooth and gum problems
are common medical conditions seen in pets. If left unchecked,
an unhealthy mouth can affect the liver, kidneys, heart and even
the brain. |

So when you lean in to give your pet
a smooch, ask yourself “does my pet need a breath mint?” Studies
show that 98% of pets with bad breath are suffering from severe
plaque build up. Bad breath not only means that your pet's mouth
may be a warehouse for unhealthy bacteria, tartar and plaque,
but it can also point to unhealthy intestines. In addition, the
quality of your pet's food can contribute to the status of your
pet's breath. Low quality food can cause digestive problems,
thus promoting bad breath. Easily digestible food such as Life's
Abundance works to promote intestinal harmony. |

| Can I Share My Toothpaste With My Pet? | |||
 |
Absolutely not!
Pets aren't like us: they swallow whatever you use to clean their teeth. Human toothpaste simply isn't edible. Nor is the heavy minty flavor really desirable to pets. Human toothpaste can give your pet some serious stomach problems. You're better off using our dental liquid for a fresh smelling smile! |

Did you
know… Certain breeds of dogs and cats are genetically predisposed to unhealthy teeth and gums? For example, the Maltese is the number one dog breed with tooth and gum problems. In the cat world, the Siamese and the Abyssinian, charming as they are, have serious tooth problems and often get some of their teeth pulled during their youth. Other factors include viruses, bacteria and not enough abrasive foods. |
