70% of pets over the age of 3 have some form of dental disease.

Unlike us, pets rarely suffer cavities, but do suffer commonly from periodontal disease caused by a build up of plaque containing bacteria around the gums.

This can lead to much discomfort, which is unlikely to be obvious to you as an owner, but which will affect your pet's general health and happiness.

What's more, infection in the mouth can travel around the body via the bloodstream affecting the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organs.

The good news is that dental disease is easy to prevent. We offer all our clients free advice on avoiding dental disease and a free dental check for their pet.
