Pet Dental Health Template 4: General Information/Education – home care and insurance version
Hi [ClientFirstName],
Bad breath is very common among pets, and that stink is not something to be taken lightly.
Foul smells coming from your pet’s mouth could be an early sign of gum disease. If left unchecked over time, unhealthy gums can lead to serious health problems ranging from tooth and bone loss to heart disease.
Home dental care for pets
The good news is you can help fight gum disease by adding regular dental care to your pet care routine.
What you’ll need:
- Pet toothbrush
- Pet-specific toothpaste (human toothpaste brands may contain ingredients toxic for pets)
How to brush a pet’s teeth
- Step 1: Lift the upper lip and angle the brush along the gum line at a 45° angle.
- Step 2: Use a circular motion to clean the outside of teeth, spending about 30 seconds on each quadrant.
- Step 3: If your pet is cooperative, brush the insides of teeth with a similar circular motion.
- Step 4: Reward your pet with lots of treats and praise for a job well done!
Pro tip: Get your pet comfortable with having their teeth and gums touched first. Start with your fingertip, then use a washcloth before introducing the toothbrush.
Preventing gum disease
Regular dental checkups at [ClinicName] are the best way to protect your pet’s mouth. Specialty toys and treats can cut down on tartar and bacterial buildup between cleanings, but regular deep cleanings are necessary to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
Affordable peace of mind
When choosing a pet health insurance plan, remember that different companies and policies provide different levels of coverage, so be sure to choose one that’s right for you and your pet. Dental cleanings are fully covered on some plans, which makes keeping your pet’s mouth healthy a breath of fresh air

Pet Dental Health Template 5: General Information/Education & Promo
Hi [ClientFirstName],
Many pet owners think their cat or dog doesn’t need a dental cleaning because they eat dry food or they’re too young. The fact of the matter is that pets after age 3 need a yearly dental exam and cleaning. Although brushing, chewing on dental bones, and eating hard food that is formulated to help with teeth cleaning do help, bacteria and tartar can still build up. Over time, bacteria can build up on your pet’s teeth which can lead to gum diseases like gingivitis or, worse, periodontal disease. The complications of infection can be kidney and heart disease along with bad breath, tooth decay, and bleeding of the gums.
To prevent these diseases and more expensive treatments later on, book your pet for a dental cleaning in February and save 15%.
