Bad breath can be a symptom of a much more serious and insidious health problem. It is estimated that 80 percent of dogs
(and 70 percent of cats) over the age of three suffer from periodontal disease... the deterioration of the gums and supporting bones
of the teeth. Left unchecked, the resulting bacteria can enter the bloodstream, ultimately causing infection or damage to vital organs
such as the kidneys, lungs, heart or liver. That’s why this pet disease has been the called the "Silent Killer of Pets".
Look inside your pet’s mouth, do you notice?
• Red lines along the gum line
• Yellow or brown matter on the teeth
• Rotten or decayed teeth
• Distinct odor
To slow down future tartar build-up after a professional cleaning, we apply "OraVet" Plaque Prevention Sytem for Pets tooth sealant.
