Why Dental Care Matters for Dogs
Prevent Pain & Disease
Dental disease affects up to 80 % of dogs over age 3 and can lead to discomfort, gum inflammation, loose teeth, and bad breath. These oral infections often spread bacteria systemically to the heart, liver, or kidneys.
Improve Quality of Life
Healthy teeth mean better chewing, fresh breath, and a happier pup—essential for play, appetite, and daily comfort.
