Dental Disease in Cats and Dogs

Animal Radio
Eighty percent of all dogs and cats have some form of dental disease and gum disease and it can be very severe. Dental disease affects much more than fresh breath, it can frequently lead to more serious health problems such as kidney and heart disease. Veterinarian experts strongly recommend daily dental care for pets and twice a year mouth exams, beginning early. One new development is the prevention of plaque using a barrier sealant gel called Oravet®. It’s applied by your veterinarian and then continued at home.
