🦷 The Truth About Pet Dental Disease

By age 3, more than 70% of cats and 80% of dogs already show signs of dental disease. That includes plaque, tartar, gum inflammation, and even loose teeth.

• Causes constant pain
• Makes eating difficult
• Can spread infection to the heart, liver, and kidneys

📋 Common Symptoms of Dental Problems

• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Drooling or dropping food
• Yellow or brown tartar buildup
• Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
• Pawing at the mouth
• Refusing to eat hard food

If you notice any of these signs, your pet likely needs a dental cleaning or exam ASAP.
