🐾Keep Your Pet’s Smile Healthy🐾 February is dental health awareness month! Did you know that dental disease is the most common condition in pets, affecting 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by the time they’re 3y old! 😱 It’s not just about bad breath - infections in your pet’s mouth can spread to other organs and cause serious health complications. 🐶 Fun Facts: Dogs have 42 adult teeth, and cats have 30 - that’s a lot of teeth to keep clean! 🦷 Small dog breeds are more prone to periodontal disease. Some Tips: ✅ Regularly brush your pets teeth - it’s the most effective way to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. ✅ Consider water additives to help control plaque between brushing.
