Maintaining a pet’s dental care not only promotes a fresh smile but also benefits their overall health and well-being. According to the Veterinary Centers of America Inc., dental disease is one of the most common medical conditions veterinarians confront—with over 80% of dogs over age 3 having active dental disease.

To help curtail this ongoing threat and to safeguard your canine patients' health, Treehugger suggests keeping these 3 natural dental care products on your radar to share with clients.
