Pets need dental check-ups just like us!
A clean, healthy mouth can have a significant impact on your pet's longevity and quality of life.
Approximately 80 percent of adult cats and dogs have some form of periodontal disease, and this condition can be extremely painful and can affect your pet's ability to eat properly.
Additionally, when the harmful bacteria that causes gum disease enters your pet's bloodstream, it can affect organ function and lead to complications such as heart and kidney disease.
