Pet Oral Health and Dentistry
Reference Vet Street 2010

Here are some things to think about while you're brushing your teeth:

• More than 8 out of 10 dogs and 7 out of 10 cats show signs of poor dental health by the age of three.
• Dental problems in pets – as in people – can lead to pain, tooth loss, periodontal disease, and increased bacteria in the bloodstream.
• Pets' oral disease invariably progresses with time, as does people's, and can result in damage to internal organs, including the heart, liver and kidneys.

Many owners are not aware of the importance of their pets' dental health. That's why February has been designated Pet Dental Health Month, and why we urge you to find out more about it.

We will be celebrating good oral health for pets at SCVH by offering a 10% discount on dental procedures in BOTH January and February this year- plus, receive a free gift with purchase, a gift bag full of items to promote healthy mouths at home!

Talk with us about your pet's dental health. We can help prevent and manage pets' oral problems before they become serious – or even life-threatening. Call today or email us to set up an appointment at info@santacruzveterinaryhospital.com.
