Keeping your pet's teeth and gums healthy will help prevent oral pain, prevent organ damage, and reduce bacteria. Bacteria in the plaque can enter the bloodstream and spread to the heart, kidneys, and liver. This spread of bacteria, called bacteremia, can damage organs, and make pets very sick.

Good nutrition also aids in proper digestion for your pet, and it's the carbohydrates in your pet's food that offer the fiber that helps with both digestion and elimination. Your pet's food should be made to ensure nutrients are readily available to the digestive system, which allows the body to easily absorb them.
