February is Pet Dental Health Month, which makes it the perfect time for Odessa pet parents to take a closer look at their pets’ teeth and gums. Good pet dental care does a lot more than improve that deliciously stinky doggy breath. It also supports your pet’s overall oral health.

Here’s a startling statistic: according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease by age three.

Your pet doesn’t have to be one of them! Here’s what the team at Caring Paws Animal Hospital wants you to know about this important piece of February pet wellness. 

Dental care is an extremely important aspect of overall pet wellness. The simple act of caring for your pet’s teeth and gums can have as much impact on health as nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care. In fact, dental care can add to a pet’s overall vitality, and even impact longevity.
