If you’ve noticed your furry friend’s breath is a little foul, it’s definitely time for a vet visit to get their dental health checked out. Read our in-depth article to find out more about why it’s important to keep pet dental disease at bay.
It’s not just about keeping your pet’s breath fresh – great dental health protects them from tooth loss, gingivitis and even heart, liver and kidney problems. We recommend an annual check-up so the vet can examine your pet’s teeth and gums, and determine whether they need their teeth to be scaled and polished.
