Q: What's the most common disease to affect dogs and cats over the age of three?

A: DENTAL DISEASE

Dental plaque, tartar, and periodontal disease are inevitable parts of life for animals just like for people. Humans brush daily and visit their dentist on a regular basis to minimize and prevent dental disease. Sadly our pets don't always get such good treatment. When was the last time you brushed your pet’s teeth or even looked in their mouth?


To help celebrate Dental Health Month we are offering a FREE fluoridetreatment for every pet that comes in for a dental cleaning during the month of February.


Remember, now is as good a time as any to start daily tooth brushings with your pet or to schedule that professional cleaning you have been putting off.  Your pets are worth the little extra effort it may involve and they will thank you for your extra loving care.
