75-85% of pets over the ages of 3
have dental disease! Dogs and cats are not supposed to
have bad breath. They have bad breath because they do not brush their teeth.
Brushing your pet’s teeth is beneficial for both your pet and your pocketbook.
Advanced dental disease can be costly, not to mention painful to your pet. If
you are unable to brush your pet’s teeth daily, consider having a dental
cleaning performed on your pet once a year.
“Senior at Seven”
Pets don’t age the way people
do—they age much faster. Most pets are considered seniors at seven years of age.
Be sure to visit your veterinarian regularly.
Microchipping
We recommend all pets get microchipped as this is the best way to get reunited with your lost pet! It is a simple process to identify and keep your pet safe.
Please
remember that this is a recommend wellness schedule at this time based upon our
Doctor’s judgment. As advances in medicine occur or if your pet ever becomes
ill, additional tests and diagnostics may be recommended.
