How can I prevent dental issues?+

Provide unlimited hay, appropriate chew toys, regular veterinary check-ups, and monitor eating habits. Some breeds may need more frequent dental care.

What foods help with dental wear?+

Timothy hay is excellent for dental wear. Avoid excessive pellets and sugary treats. Provide safe wooden chews and hay-based toys.
