Is dental care really such a big deal?
In a word: YES! Without regular attention, your pet’s teeth and gums can become a haven for dangerous bacteria, which can start out as bad breath and spread to cause serious damage to your pet’s teeth and gums. As bacteria grow in your pet’s mouth, it can eventually spread through the bloodstream and cause a host of other medical problems throughout your pet’s entire body, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. It can even shorten your pet’s life.
