February is National Pet Dental Health Month!

Healthy teeth helps your pet to want to eat, play and feel comfortable every day. Most pets develop some form of dental disease by age 3 with much of that being below the gum line where you can’t see. Taking care of your pet’s teeth routinely can help to prevent from painful and infected teeth in the future, which can lead to more difficult and costly extractions. The best thing you can do for your pets is to brush their teeth daily with a toothbrush and pet safe toothpaste for 60 seconds. They also make powders, like Proden dental powder, for both dogs and cats as additives to their food to help prevent tartar buildup. Routine dental cleanings are an important way to keep your pets teeth clean and promote overall health and wellness. Please feel free to call to schedule an appointment to discuss any concerns you may have about your pet’s oral health or to schedule a dental procedure.
