🦷✨ February is Pet Dental Health Month! ✨🦷

This month, we’re highlighting the importance of dental health in exotic companion mammals! From guinea pigs and rabbits to ferrets and hedgehogs, proper dental care is essential for their overall wellbeing.

Did you know? Many exotic mammals have continuously growing teeth, making them prone to overgrowth, malocclusion, and painful dental disease. Signs of dental issues can be subtle but may include:
🔹 Difficulty eating or dropping food
🔹 Weight loss
🔹 Excessive drooling
🔹 Swelling around the jaw or face

Throughout February, we’ll be sharing educational posts for veterinary professionals, technicians, and pet owners all about preventing and managing dental disease in exotic mammals. Stay tuned! 🐰🐹🦔🐾
