February is Pet Dental Health Month!
February is the month when we show our love for sweethearts and spouses, but it’s also a time when we can show special
affection to our pets. One way to do that is to keep them healthy and happy. That’s why the American Veterinary
Medical Association designated February as National Pet Dental Health month. Studies show that, despite recommendations from
veterinarians, only about 2% of pet owners brush their pet’s teeth, and that can lead to problems. “Dental care
is critical for dogs and cats because neglecting their oral hygiene will lead to build-up of tartar, gum disease, bad breath,
and possibly kidney failure,” said Gwen Kuykendall, co-owner of Kuykendall’s Border Collies.
For information on the proper way to brush your pet’s teeth, contact your local veterinarian. For
