Pet Dental Health Month

February is National Pet Dental Health Month!

Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by the age of 3?
“Dog breath” is not a laughing matter—for dogs OR cats. In fact, bad breath is one of the earliest indicators of dental disease! Other signs include red, bleeding, irritated gums; tartar accumulation; changes in chewing or eating habits; tooth loss; and even behavioral changes, like irritability and depression.  Unfortunately, untreated dental disease has been shown to contribute to liver, kidney, and heart disease, and is estimated to reduce life expectancy by 20%!

Top 3 benefits of dental care for your pet:

3) Fresh breath! (Which means fresh dog and cat kisses!)

2) Treatment and prevention of painful gingivitis, infection, and tooth loss

1) Longer, happier, and healthier lives!


In celebration of National Pet Dental Health Month, Cheyenne River Animal Hospital is offering *free dental exams* and a 15% discount on dental prophylaxis during the month of February.  Add years of smiles to your pet’s life and schedule your free dental exam today!
