Ever wonder why your dog eats better after a dentist appointment? Chances are, your dog was probably hurting somewhere in his mouth before the appointment. Your vet either cleaned the area and removed the food or debris or he pulled decaying teeth to rid the mouth of bacteria and infection. Once all off the teeth have been cleaned up and bad teeth removed, your dog’s mouth and gums can heal making it less painful to eat soft or dry food. Your dentist might warn you that your dog will eat better and possibly eat more once his teeth are clean and bad teeth are pulled. This is normal. Your dog can now eat happily without pain. Eating may take him longer and he may need his food moistened, but other than that he’s good to go. Consult to your vet Roanoke, VA for dietary tips for your pup after a teeth cleaning.
