Older German Shepherds And Dental Issues. The Impact of Bad Teeth and Gums Goes Beyond The Mouth
Manage episode 318209775 series 2927737
Dental issues can be a problem for senior German Shepherds, and the effects of poor oral care can be felt throughout the entire body. Like us, as our German Shepherds age, their teeth may start to wear down, and decay and gums may not be as healthy as they once were, which can lead to pain, infection, loss of teeth, and other health problems which can be life-threatening. Prevention is key, but sometimes you can do everything right, and your frosty muzzled fur friend can still suffer from dental issues.
If you have a senior German Shepherd, it's important to be on the lookout for signs of dental issues and take the steps necessary to correct them as soon as possible. In this #lifewitholddogs® blog post, we'll discuss common dental problems of senior German Shepherds and offer tips for treating and preventing them.
