Bad breath can be a symptom of a more serious problem, periodontal disease, as well as a deterrent to being close to your cat or dog. Periodontal disease of the gums and supporting bones of the teeth  can lead to destruction of tissues, loss of teeth, and discomfort for your Cat and Dogs. It's found in 70% of cats and 80% of dogs over the age of three . Besides bad breath you may notice reddened gum tissue that bleeds easily and accumulations of plaque and tartar on the teeth.

As the disease progresses, affected teeth may become loose and cause your pet to have difficulty eating. Progression of the disease also results in more serious problems for your pet. The bacteria that cause this disease are found in the space between the gums and teeth (the sulcus or pocket) and can enter the bloodstream causing infection or damage to organs such as kidneys, lungs, heart or liver. Good oral hygiene may extend your pet's life by two to five years. With OxyFresh Pet Oral Hygiene Solution,  as well as with our other oral care products, your pet will have significantly fresher breath and a reduction of plaque and tartar buildup.
