Is Dental Care Right for Your Pet?
Most pets benefit from routine dental care starting at an early age. If your pet has bad breath, drools excessively, paws at their mouth, or shows changes in eating habits, it may be a sign of dental disease. Preventive dental care is the best way to keep your pet’s smile healthy, comfortable, and pain-free.
