The Importance of Pet Dental Health

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets. Plaque and tartar buildup can cause bad breath, gum inflammation, and tooth loss. Left untreated, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream, affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental exams and cleanings help prevent these complications and comfort your pet.
