With expert insights and innovative solutions from Zoro, including the Dental Care Spray and Water Additive, pet owners can easily complement their pets’ dental care routine in a fuss-free, non-toxic manner
KUALA LUMPUR, 20 January 2025 – More than 50% of Malaysians own pets, and with a growing pet healthcare market projected to expand by 6.1% annually between 2024 and 2029, it’s clear that pet owners are heavily investing in ways to enhance their pets’ quality of life. However, many pet owners may be unknowingly overlooking a vital aspect of pet care: dental health.
Recent statistics reveal that dental disease is actually one of the leading causes of veterinary visits, often going unnoticed until it reaches advanced stages; 80% of dogs over three years old, for example, show signs of periodontal or gum disease. This oversight can significantly impact not just oral health, but overall well-being, as bacteria from infected gums can spread through the bloodstream, increasing the risk of heart disease, liver disease, and even diabetes. Knowing this, it’s clear that prioritising dental health is essential for ensuring pets’ long-term health and happiness.
In fact, regular dental care prevents gingivitis and periodontal disease, conditions that can lead to tooth loss, infections, and chronic discomfort. Dental pain — though often hidden by pets — can affect appetite, mood, and behaviour, often in the form of smelly breath, changes in eating behaviour, and drooling. Chronic dental infections have also been linked to liver diseases, and worse, heart infection, among pets.
In face of these, consistent care helps in addressing halitosis, a common early sign of underlying dental issues, and supports overall well-being by enabling proper nutrition and maintaining energy levels. Preventive measures like daily tooth brushing, routine veterinary check-ups, and dental chews not only improve pets’ quality of life, but can also reduce the financial burden of treating advanced dental problems.
Here, pet care brand ZORO is stepping in with innovative solutions to make pet dental care more accessible and effective. Both the ZORO Dental Care Spray and Dental Care Water Additive are designed to be used alongside regular dental routines and veterinary check-ups to ensure comprehensive care, and these safe, non-toxic products are especially useful for multi-pet households or for pets that resist brushing.
For one, the Dental Care Water Additive can be simply added to drinking water, and its alcohol-free formula removes plaque, fights oral diseases and prevents cavities and tartar, all without the need for brushing. Meanwhile, the Dental Care Spray offers a quick and targeted application, freshening your pet’s breath with just 1 – 2 pumps directly onto their teeth and gums.
“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 at the veterinarian,” says Lim Ming Fei, Chief Executive Officer of ZORO, “Our aim is to create products that can be used to complement a broader dental care routine — one that includes regular brushing, dental check-ups, and proper nutrition. We want to help pet parents everywhere to maintain their pet’s dental health in good condition, and ultimately reduce stress for both pets and pet owners alike.”
ZORO’s dental care products can be purchased online or physically in grocery chains like NSK Grocer, Pasaraya CS, CS Grocer, Cowboy, G.U.S, CLC Cash & Carry, 123 Express Mart, Super Seven, Pantai Selamat, Eng Hong, Jaya Gading and many other local neighbourhood grocers..
