Dental
We all appreciate the importance of dental hygiene in maintaining the health of our teeth and gums. Quite apart from anything else, it is not very pleasant to the in the general vicinity of someone who doesn’t brush their teeth. Your pet is no different! He or she needs to have his/her teeth brushed regularly to avoid gum disease and to remain a pleasure to be around. Unfortunately, unlike humans, pets can’t look after their own teeth, and so rely on you to help them out in that regard.
