September 2010 is "Pet Smile Month"
During September 2010 bring your pets to a free Pet Smile Month clinic and receive a complimentary "Pet Smile Check-Up" - a free check on their pet's oral health. In addition the veterinary team will be able to offer advice leaflets and information on special chews and other preventive care measures.
A national "Healthy Smile" Art Competition is also being held, with prizes including a flight in a Hot Air Balloon and MP3 players. Entries are through the local competitions held by each Pet Smile Month veterinary practice.
Here at Dore & Totley Veterinary we are very worried about the state of pets' teeth in the UK. It is estimated that 80% of dogs and cats over the age of three urgently need dental treatment. Many loving pet owners do not realise the extent of their pet's disease
and are unaware of the importance of tooth brushing, daily oral hygiene chews and the special dental diets which can help avoid the problems.
Dental disease is a welfare issue. "Dog's breath" is the very least of the worries. Oral pain is a feature - but often goes unnoticed because pets carry on eating. As periodontal disease progresses, bacteria spreads from the mouth through the blood stream to affect other organs such as the kidneys and heart valves. In addition little showers of bacteria are carried into the lungs with every breath.
We regard dental disease as a whole body problem and one that needs more attention. To highlight this very serious issue we are donating our time to examine pets' mouths free of charge during September. There will also be demonstrations of tooth brushing and the use of oral chews and special diets.
Should you wish to have a Pet Smile Check-Up for your pets please contact us to see to arrange an appoinment.We look forward to seeing you soon.
Compatition entry forms can be collected in practice. Good Luck.
