Dog Plaque & Tartar Removal Tools

Dental care isn’t just a human concern. Dogs can suffer from plaque, tartar, and gum disease too.  Without proper care, it can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and even long-term health issues affecting the heart and kidneys. While professional dental cleanings at the vet are essential, there are dog plaque & tartar removal tools you can safely use at home to support your dog’s oral hygiene.

At Pet Control HQ, we’re committed to helping pet parents make confident,  informed decisions about   their dog’s dental hygiene.. 

Why dog dental care matters Plaque forms when food particles and bacteria build up on teeth. If left unchecked, it hardens into tartar, which is a tough, yellowish coating that brushing can’t remove. Once tartar develops, it irritates the gums and increases the risk of periodontal disease.

Common signs of dental problems in dogs include:

• Persistent bad breath

• Yellow or brown discolouration on teeth

• Red or bleeding gums

• Difficulty chewing or loss of appetite

Regular brushing prevents plaque and tartare build up. Use a toothbrush designed for dogs — finger, angled or double-headed brushes — along with pet-safe toothpaste. Never use Human toothpaste as it is  toxic to dogs, Dental wipes and finger pads
