ZORO empowers pet owners to combat hidden dental issues

With over 50% of Malaysians owning pets and a pet healthcare market projected to grow by 6.1% annually from 2024 to 2029, the focus on pet well-being is on the rise. However, a critical aspect of pet health—dental care—remains frequently overlooked. Studies show that 80% of dogs over three years old exhibit signs of periodontal or gum disease, with many cases only identified in advanced stages.

Dental issues in pets extend beyond oral discomfort. Infected gums can lead to serious systemic health problems, such as heart disease, liver disease, and diabetes, as harmful bacteria spread through the bloodstream. Symptoms like bad breath, drooling, and changes in eating behaviour are often early indicators of underlying dental issues, underscoring the need for regular dental care.

The Importance of Preventive Dental Care

Preventive dental measures are key to ensuring pets’ overall health and happiness. Routine actions such as daily tooth brushing, regular veterinary check-ups, and the use of dental chews can stave off gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth loss, while also addressing halitosis—a common symptom of early-stage dental issues.

Many pet owners often overlook the significant impact dental health has on their pets’ behaviour and energy levels. Untreated chronic dental infections can negatively affect a pet’s quality of life, leading to changes in appetite, mood, and overall vitality.

ZORO’s Innovative Approach to Pet Dental Care

Recognizing the challenges pet owners face in maintaining consistent dental routines, ZORO has introduced two innovative products: the ZORO Dental Care Spray and Dental Care Water Additive. These products are designed to complement regular dental practices, making it easier for pet owners to ensure their pets receive comprehensive oral care.

The Dental Care Water Additive, an alcohol-free formula, can be added to drinking water to remove plaque, fight oral diseases, and prevent tartar buildup without the need for brushing. Meanwhile, the Dental Care Spray offers a direct and convenient solution with 1–2 pumps to freshen breath and support gum health.

“We want to emphasise that both the Dental Care Spray and Dental Care Water Additive are not full replacements for brushing or regular dental check-ups,” said Lim Ming Fei, Chief Executive Officer of ZORO. “Our aim is to help pet parents maintain their pet’s dental health and reduce stress for both pets and owners alike.”

Accessible Solutions for Every Pet Owner

ZORO’s dental care products are readily available both online and in numerous physical retail outlets, including NSK Grocer, Pasaraya CS, and 123 Express Mart, making it easier than ever for pet owners to prioritize their pets’ oral health.

By combining preventive measures with ZORO’s innovative solutions, pet owners can safeguard their pets’ dental health, ensuring a happier, healthier life for their furry companions.
