Dental care is one of the most overlooked aspects of pet health—but it’s one of the most important! Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious health issues that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Why dental care matters:
– Prevents infections: Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause damage to vital organs. 
– Avoids tooth loss: Regular cleanings keep gums healthy and teeth strong. 
– Eliminates bad breath: Fresh breath is a sign of a healthy mouth. 
– Reduces pain: Dental problems can be extremely painful, even if your pet doesn’t show it.

How to care for your pet’s teeth:
– Brush their teeth several times a week. 
– Provide dental treats and toys. 
– Schedule professional cleanings at least once a year.
