This month of February is Pet Dental Health Month. As with us humans the importance of dental hygiene for our beloved pets cannot be overemphasized. There should be awareness year round not just in February. Miss Mia (The Princess) of course is not thrilled with the prospect of me prying her mouth open. And I cant wait…yikes!
8 out of 10 pets over the age of 3 have periodontal disease. Warning signs are bad breath (dogs), tuna breath (cats of course), and discolored teeth. If not treated properly these warning signs can evolve into liver, kidney, heart and lung disease.
Dental hygiene is true maintenance for the health and well being of your pet. Think of it as preventative medicine prolonging their quality of life. And in the long run saving on vet bills and your pet’s long term discomfort.
