Proper Pet Dental Health

Keeping your pet’s teeth in good shape has many more benefits than just fresh breath. Regular cleanings and a few minutes of brushing each week can help give your pet a longer, healthier life.
Bad breath in pets is just one sign of dental disease that can lead to other health problems. Similar to people, your pet needs routine dental care too. Most dogs and cats develop a dental disease by three years of age and the faster the disease is treated, the easier it is to manage.
