Dental disease is a common problem that pets suffer from. In fact, up to 80% of all dogs and 70% of all cats contract this very painful disease before they are three years old! Many owners have no idea that their pet is suffering from this condition. Unlike humans who get to brush their teeth on a daily basis, dogs and cats do not. Also, many pet owners don't buy the correct foods or treats necessary to keep their pets teeth and mouth healthy.
These are some common symptoms of dental disease:
Bad Breath
Pawing at Mouth
Difficulty Eating
Red or Inflamed Gums
Swelling Under One Eye
