Why is dental health important?
- Dental disease is common in our pets. As many as 80% of dogs, & 70% of cats have symptoms of dental disease by the age of 3 years (American Veterinary Medical Association)
- Poor dental health can shorten your pet’s life by causing irreversible damage over time to your pet’s teeth, gums, and jaw
- Bacteria accumulated in the oral cavity can travel through the bloodstream & can damage important organs such as the kidneys, liver & heart causing disease that may require treatment in the future
