If pets could read and understand the yearly calendar, it would be safe to assume that they would anxiously wait for February every year just as children await Christmas. February is National Pet Dental Month. During this event, veterinarians carefully inspect a pet’s dental hygiene and provide solutions to any symptoms or problems your pet may be experiencing.
Why is National Pet Dental Month So Important?
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) estimates that more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop oral disease by the time they are three years old. These mind boggling statistics are the reason why this event is so important for pets. It provides pet holders with the perfect opportunity to have their pets examined for possible dental disease and take steps to prevent any complications in the future.
How it Works
Participating in National Pet Dental Month is no different from any other visit to the vet’s office. The difference is that the focus in particular is on the pet dental health. Some animal clinics even offer discounts and special offers during this month. The first thing to do is to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. During the visit, the veterinarian will carefully inspect the pet’s teeth and perform teeth cleaning. This helps them in dealing with any tooth abnormalities that may be present as well as addressing any concerns the pet holders may have.
All in all, the National Pet Dental Month is a great opportunity for the veterinarians to get to know the pets and for the pet owners to gather insightful information on pet health and care.
