Pet Dental Health Month

This February will be the 14th Annual National Pet Dental Health Month. Just like you, your pet needs dental care also. Regular daily home care from you with annual dental check-ups by your veterinarian help to prevent dental disease.

Pets develop plaque, a colorless film that contains large amounts of bacteria on their teeth just like we do. If left unchecked, plaque builds up, creating infection, destroying gums, and results in the loss of the tissues and bone that support the teeth.

    The signs of periodontal disease include:
  • Bad breath
  • Yellow/brown crust on teeth
  • Bleeding gums
  • Change in chewing or eating habits
  • Tooth loss
  • Change in behavior
  • Abnormal drooling

Ignoring the condition of your pet’s mouth can lead to periodontal disease, tooth loss, and other serious health problems, such as heart, liver, and kidney failure. Call 708-396-1014 today to schedule a dental cleaning and use the coupon to save $20.00.
