Did you know you can add a dental cleaning and full mouth radiographs to your existing Care Club plan?

🦷 Dental health is crucial for both dogs and cats, as poor oral hygiene can lead to serious health issues beyond bad breath. Plaque and tartar buildup can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and painful infections, which may lead to difficulty eating and a decline in overall well-being.

🦷 If left untreated, bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care, including brushing, dental treats, and professional cleanings, helps prevent these issues and ensures a healthier, longer life for pets.

🦷 Maintaining good oral hygiene not only improves their quality of life but also reduces veterinary costs related to advanced dental treatments and related health complications.
