Scenthound Reinforces Commitment to Proactive Pet Care During National Pet Dental Health Month

Nation's Leading Dog Wellness Franchise Champions Pet Health through Education, Services, and Innovative Products

JUPITER, Fla., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As National Pet Dental Health Month kicks off, Scenthound is reinforcing the critical role of dental hygiene in dogs' health. With intentions of making routine care accessible for all dogs, Scenthound is educating pet parents on the importance of preventive dental hygiene while providing professional services and innovative wellness solutions.

A Growing Concern: The Overlooked Impact of Poor Dental Health

Dental disease is one of the most common yet preventable health issues in dogs, with studies showing that up to 90% of dogs over the age of two suffer from some stage of periodontal disease. As pioneers in the dog wellness space, Scenthound continues to advocate for essential hygiene practices that help dogs live longer, happier lives.

To raise awareness, Scenthound is equipping pet parents with key warning signs that their dog's dental health may be at risk:

• Bad breath and teeth discoloration – These can indicate harmful bacteria and plaque buildup, potentially leading to more serious dental issues.
• Changes in eating habits – Reluctance to eat, difficulty chewing, or dropping food can often indicate dental discomfort or pain.
• Excessive drooling – An increase in drooling can be a sign of pain, infection or oral irritation in their mouth.
• Pawing at the mouth or face rubbing - Frequent pawing or rubbing against surfaces could be signs of oral discomfort that requires attention.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Pet Wellness

Despite its importance, dental care is often overlooked in dogs' wellness routines. In fact, 60% of pet parents are unaware that poor dental hygiene can negatively impact their dog's overall health. By offering routine brushing, plaque reduction treatments, and monthly wellness checks, Scenthound provides the proactive care dogs need to maintain optimal oral health.

Scenthound's commitment to pet wellness goes beyond in-Scenter services, extending to at-home care through its premium product line, Houndswell^®. The brand most recently rolled out Daily Dental Support, a dental health supplement developed to combat periodontal disease in dogs. Formulated with responsibly sourced organic kelp, the supplement was developed to promote cleaner, healthier teeth and gums.

"Oral hygiene is a fundamental part of a dog's overall health and well-being," says Jessica Vogel, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Scenthound. "Neglecting routine dental care can lead to serious health complications, ultimately impacting quality of life. At Scenthound, we empower pet parents with the knowledge and tools they need to take proactive care of their canine family members."
