Brushing your dog's teeth? For many people, this sounds like one of those things you plan to do, but then keep putting off.
You may have heard that dental care is important. Yet, until now, you've always thought, "My dog eats well, chews on bones, and isn't in pain—so what's the point?"
But therein lies the problem. Many dental diseases don't develop suddenly, but rather gradually – quietly, unobtrusively, and often over years.
Tartar, periodontitis, and inflamed gums – these are among the most common chronic diseases in dogs. And the tragic thing about them? They're usually easily preventable.
The good news: It's never too late. You can start today to give your dog not only a more beautiful smile, but more importantly, a healthier life – with a grooming routine that connects and provides security.
So that you don't hesitate any longer, you will find five good reasons in this article why now is the right time - and how modern helpers such as the emmi-pet PRO or the 2-in-1 device for dental and skin care can help you to integrate the whole thing into your everyday life in a stress-free and gentle way .
Reason 1: Dental diseases are silent – but serious
Unlike us humans, they don't whine when their teeth hurt or their gums hurt. They withdraw, eat more slowly, leave the chew stick alone, or restlessly rub their paws over their muzzles. These are small, subtle signs that are easily overlooked.
This is precisely the insidious aspect: Dental problems such as periodontitis, tartar, or gingivitis don't develop overnight, but rather gradually – over weeks, sometimes months. And because your dog doesn't complain, many of them go undetected for a long time.
But the consequences can be serious: Untreated inflammation in the mouth not only puts strain on the teeth and gums, but also opens the way for bacteria to enter the bloodstream – from there they can come dangerously close to the heart, liver or kidneys.
A healthy dog doesn’t just start with food or exercise – it also starts with a well-groomed mouth.
Dental care is not a cosmetic matter, but a central contribution to the health and well-being of your pet.
Reason 2: Good dental care prevents veterinary costs
Maybe you're thinking, "If something happens, I'll just go to the vet."
Sure, that's an obvious thought. But in many cases, this step comes too late.
What exactly does dental treatment for dogs mean?
- general anesthesia,
- the removal of tartar with a medical ultrasound device,
- sometimes the extraction of individual or even multiple teeth,
- and in the end: a hefty bill, which often amounts to several hundred euros.
And what's often even more serious: Not every dog tolerates anesthesia well—especially older dogs. What begins as a routine procedure can quickly become a burden.
How much easier would it be if it didn't get to this point in the first place?
With regular care – loving, gentle, stress-free – you can prevent many of these procedures.
And the best part: It's easier than you might think. Especially if you use a device that accommodates your dog instead of overwhelming him.
Reason 3: Care creates closeness and trust
Dental care is much more than just an item on the health checklist.
It can become a truly heartfelt moment between you and your dog—a silent ritual that creates closeness and strengthens trust. A moment in which you are completely with him. And he is with you.
Of course, this requires a bit of patience—especially if your dog has previously experienced grooming as unpleasant or stressful. But this is precisely where modern technology makes a noticeable difference:
The emmi-pet PRO operates completely silently – without vibration, without brush movement. No humming, no jerking, no pressure. Instead: a quiet, gentle experience that your dog will associate with peace and security.
And the best part? With the new 2-in-1 device from emmi-pet , which offers dental and skin care in one, you can combine several positive stimuli.
For example: First gently brush the fur – then relax and clean the teeth.
A brief moment of care – with a big impact.
Reason 4: Dental care works – even without force and friction
Many owners hesitate because they ask themselves: "How am I supposed to brush my dog's teeth? I can hardly reach them!" And honestly: traditional hand-held brushes are a nuisance for many dogs – especially in the back of the mouth.
Thankfully, with ultrasonic technology, that's a thing of the past. The emmi-pet PRO cleans using air vibrations – up to 96 million per minute – to break down plaque, bacteria, and biofilm, even in the deepest spaces between teeth. And the best part: You don't even have to move the brush.
This is a game-changer, especially for anxious, older, or small dogs. You gently hold the brush against the tooth – and the ultrasound does the rest.
Reason 5: Starting early means long-term benefits
The sooner you start, the better – and the easier.
Puppies, in particular, can be introduced to dental care through play. But adult dogs also benefit from getting started at any time—because it's never too late to start something good.
Regular care can slow—or even stop—the progression of tartar. And if you catch it early enough, you can often prevent such problems from occurring in the first place.
Many dog owners report noticeable changes after just a few weeks:
- fresher breath
- more joy when chewing
- less drooling
- visibly cleaner teeth
And in the end, you have a dog that not only feels better – but also shows it.
Because grooming creates closeness. Because caring builds trust. And because a well-groomed dog is a happy dog.
And what about skin care?
What makes emmi-pet special is that it doesn't stop at dental care. It's an all-round wellness tool that also provides gentle skin care—especially helpful during tick season, for dandruff, or for sensitive skin.
With an easily interchangeable head, you can treat not only teeth but also skin areas – all with the same gentle, silent technology. Ideal for sensitive animals who react negatively to traditional grooming products.
Dental care is care – not luxury
Dental care isn't optional—it's a central component of responsible dog ownership. And it doesn't have to be complicated or unpleasant. With the right technique, a good sense of humor, and a considerate device, it becomes routine—and a bond.
Whether with the tried-and-tested emmi-pet PRO or the innovative 2-in-1 device for dental and skin care – you can give your dog a piece of health every day.
Gentle. Quiet. And full of affection.
