Hello, pet parents! It's Matt Young from Companion Animal Veterinary Hospital. Today, I'm excited to share my thoughts on a product that can significantly improve your dog's dental health: Hill's T/D for dogs.

What is Hill's T/D?

Hill's T/D is a complete and balanced dry food designed specifically for dental health. It's not just any regular kibble; it's engineered to clean your dog's teeth as they chew. The magic lies in the kibble's large size and special fibers.

How Does It Work?

When your dog chews on Hill's T/D, the kibble doesn't just break apart. Instead, the tooth digs into it, and the fibers in the kibble scrape against the teeth, effectively cleaning them. This action helps reduce plaque and calculus formation, which are common precursors to periodontal disease.

VOHC Seal of Approval

One of the standout features of Hill's T/D is its VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) seal. This independent endorsement signifies that the product is scientifically proven to reduce plaque and calculus. It's like a stamp of approval from dental experts!

Is Hill's T/D Right for Your Dog?

While Hill's T/D is fantastic, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its effectiveness depends on your dog's chewing habits. Dogs that tend to scoff their food without proper chewing won't benefit as much. Also, it primarily cleans the teeth that come into contact with the kibble, so some areas like incisors or rotated teeth might not get as clean.

Ideal Candidates for Hill's T/D

Hill's T/D is particularly beneficial for dogs that are good chewers and tend to develop periodontal disease mainly on their back teeth. If your dog enjoys chewing their food thoroughly, they're likely to benefit from this dental kibble.

Availability

You can find Hill's T/D for dogs in various sizes on our website or in-store. It's a convenient way to incorporate dental care into your dog's daily routine.

Wrapping Up

In summary, Hill's T/D for dogs is a great product for maintaining dental health in dogs, especially for those who chew their food well.
