The American Pet Products Association Celebrates National Pet Dental Health Month
STAMFORD, Conn. (PRWEB) February 16, 2018 -- The American Pet Products Association (APPA) and its members seek to combat bad breath, plaque and tartar buildup in honor of National Pet Dental Health Month (February). According to the 2017-2018 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 53 percent of dog owners take care of their dog's dental health and 43 percent currently own dental product, which could still use improvement. However, cat owners tend to fall behind even more, with only 8 percent taking care of their cat's dental health. Below are some great at-home products manufactured by APPA members designed to help keep pet's dental health in check and help maintain proper dental health in between regular cleanings and checkups.
Dozers Dental Chews are a 100 percent all-natural chew made with eight
wholesome ingredients that work to combine flavor and design. Infused with a fresh and clean aroma to encourage excellent dental hygiene, these chews are offered in unique shapes and sizes to get in between teeth and scrub them clean.
