Pets with bad breath could have health issues

Written by Dr. Jay King, DVM
St. Louis, Missouri – By the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease. If your pet has smelly breath, this could be a warning sign. Pet parents may not know that bad breath is caused by harmful bacteria and can be an indicator of oral disease.
Harmful bacteria in the mouth can also make their way below the gum line, causing gum disease and entering the bloodstream. It’s getting worse. Bacteria in the blood can damage joints, damage organs and lead to chronic diseases.
Doctor’s advice
As a veterinarian, I want you to know the importance of being proactive when it comes to pet oral health, and how easy and affordable it can be to dramatically improve it with a oral care probiotic. ProBiora3®, a proprietary blend of three strains of beneficial bacteria, found only in ProBioraPet®, is all-natural and packed with beneficial bacteria.
The blend also promotes healthy gums and teeth, freshens breath and naturally whitens teeth. It’s been called the most comprehensive oral care probiotic technology currently available on the pet oral care market.
The scientific basis for the oral health benefits provided by these three strains of bacteria has been documented in numerous peer-reviewed publications over the past 30 years.
