February is Pet Dental Health Month

While February is officially Pet Dental Health Month, the effects of gingivitis and periodontal disease in cats can be so far-reaching that, actually, every month should be dental health month.

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by the age of three years. A good Dental Care Plan, including annual veterinary examination, will add many years to your cat's teeth, and perhaps even ameliorate the risk of damage to other organs.
