Why Pet Dental Care?
Would you let years go by without a visit to the dentist? Probably not. But your pet’s dental health is just as important to his/her overall health as your dental health is to your general health. To help educate pet owners about the importance of proper dental care, the AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) has developed Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats.
Dental care among our furry friends is one of the most commonly overlooked areas of pet health care. In fact, in a recent AAHA study, it showed that over tw0-thirds of pet owners od ont provide essential dental care. The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80% of dog and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by the age of 3. This dental disease doesn’t just affect your pet’s mouth, it can lead to more serious health problems including heart, lung and kidney disease.
If you currently don’t have a dental care plan for your furry loved one, talk to your Veterinarian and get regular check ups and cleanings scheduled. It can help you pet live a longer healthier life.
Pet Memorials are a way to pay tribute to the life of your departed friend. There are many ways to memorialize your loved one from a pet headstone to a pet keepsake.
