Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see in cats and dogs? 🐶🐱 And just like in humans, poor dental health can lead to pain, infection, and even organ damage over time.

🔸 Bad breath (it's not just "dog breath"!)
🔸 Drooling or pawing at the mouth
🔸 Difficulty eating or loss of appetite
🔸 Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
🔸 Red or bleeding gums

Keeping your pet’s mouth clean isn’t just about fresh breath — it’s about their overall health and happiness! ❤️

🪥 What you can do:
✔️ Regular dental checks
✔️ Professional cleanings
✔️ At-home brushing (yes, it’s possible!)
