February - National Dental Health Month

February is national pet dental health month. Did you know that poor dental health can lead to other health problems including kidney, lung, heart and liver issues? Did you know that your pet's dental health is closely related to diet? Many holistic vets state that commercial pet foods lead to poor dental health in our pets. They also state that dry kibble does not actually clean our pets' teeth any more than pretzels clean human's teeth.

“More than 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by the time they’re three years old. This can lead to serious health problems,” explained Dr. Brook Niemiec, a board certified specialist in veterinary dentistry. “Make sure every veterinary checkup includes a thorough inspection of your pet’s teeth and gums, and a discussion on how to keep them healthy and clean between visits.”

If you are concerned about using anesthesia, ask your veterinary clinic if they offer anesthesia-free teeth cleaning or could recommend a clinic which does. You can also learn more about dental health for your pets by visiting the website, www.petdental.com
