This month, our promotion is dental health– come in and get a 15% discount on a dental procedure. Call for quotes! Here is why getting your pet’s teeth checked and cleaned is a good idea:
1. No more bad breath for your pet! You can receive all the licks and love you want without having to worry about it smelling too bad.
2. Dental disease can be a stepping stone to problems with your pet’s organs, such as the heart.
3. Retained baby teeth can cause problems in pets too! Full grown dogs have 42 teeth and full grown cats have 30 teeth. Before their adult teeth grow in, their baby teeth have to fall out. Sometimes, not all of the baby teeth want to come out, and this can lead to problems like gum irritation and tartar buildup.
4. Caring for your pet’s teeth can prevent other health problems, nipping the issue in the bud before it grows and saving you tons of money over the long term!
5. You need regular dental care and you brush your teeth everyday – why wouldn’t your pets? Your veterinarian can help you learn to brush your dog’s teeth and your cat’s teeth.
6. 4 out of 5 dogs over the age of 3 years have some sort of periodontal disease. The buildup of plaque can be a cause, so it’s important to
go in for regular dental checkups and cleanings to ensure this does not happen.
7. Pets that don’t get dental care can painfully lose their teeth – this can cause serious health problems.
8. Your pets are very good at hiding pain – you might not know that your pet has a serious dental problem until it has advanced beyond control. This is yet another reason why it is important to take your pet in for regular dental checkups.
9. Pets’ teeth can wear out! They are tough on their teeth. Learn the symptoms to keep your pet from experiencing the pain of severely worn teeth.
10. Learn more about the importance of dental care by visiting our dog dental-care centers and our cat dental-care centers.
