Tartar in dogs is a common problem and a potentially dangerous condition. It can lead to serious health problems and affect the well-being of your four-legged friend.

The symptoms range from bad breath to gum inflammation (periodontitis) to difficulty eating.

But there are effective solutions for treating and preventing tartar. We'll show you practical tips for treatment and an innovative method of preventing tartar using ultrasound. Dental care that works without scrubbing and is particularly animal-friendly.

What is tartar and how does it form in dogs?

Tartar is a hard, yellowish to brownish deposit on your dog's teeth. It forms when plaque mineralizes, which is promoted by saliva and food debris. This layer of plaque forms when bacteria and food particles accumulate on the teeth.Plaque is the first step in tartar formation and is easy to remove. However, if it is not removed in time, it can develop into tartar. Tartar is a mixture of germs, food particles, harmful fungi, calcium and phosphate salts, and mucosal cells. Dogs are particularly prone to tartar because their saliva often contains more minerals than humans.Tartar formation in dogs occurs in several steps:Formation of plaque: The build-up of bacteria and food particles.Mineralization: The development of plaque into tartar.Hardening: Tartar becomes hard and adheres firmly to the teeth.Another factor that promotes the formation of tartar is dental care. Insufficient cleaning of your dog's teeth can accelerate the development of tartar. Therefore, it is important to establish regular grooming routines to promote your dog's well-being.

How does the emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush work?

The emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush uses an innovative ultrasonic technology. The patented piezo chip generates up to 96 million ultrasonic vibrations per minute, effectively breaking down bacteria and plaque. These vibrations penetrate deeply and thoroughly clean the teeth – without scrubbing, noise or vibration.

Unlike conventional toothbrushes or finger cots, no mechanical scrubbing is needed. The ultrasonic waves do the work, protecting the teeth and gums. This way, you can provide your dog with stress-free and effective oral care.

Preventing Tartar in Dogs

You can't completely remove tartar from your dog yourself, but you can effectively prevent it from forming. Here are some methods that work well together:

Daily brushing: Use a special dog toothpaste that does not foam and does not contain fluoride, together with a dog toothbrush.
Snacks and dog food with a dental care effect: Plant fibers and mineral additives rub off plaque when chewing and gnawing. These support tooth cleaning, but cannot replace brushing. Also make sure to feed high-quality food that meets your dog's needs.
