As human medicine develops, we continue to learn about the importance of oral care. Your teeth may seem like a small part of your body, but we know that poor dental care is connected to heart disease, stroke, respiratory diseases and pregnancy complications.

Animals are no different. Your pet requires the same attention to its teeth to maintain good health, but it is up to you to ensure your pet’s teeth are consistently kept clean and healthy.
