Dental Disease

Dental disease is the most common infectious disease of our pets. Over 80% of cats and dogs over the age of 3 require dental treatment now. The Good News is that the majority of dental problems are TREATABLE and nearly all are PREVENTABLE.

Guides to Veterinary Dentistry

Pet Smile Month has produced Guides to Dentistry for cat and dog owners (a rabbit guide is in development). These have been designed to give you a lot of information. However more detail can be obtained by clicking the links on the menu to the right.

Please download the Guides by clicking the images above. Use the BACK arrow to return to this site.

You need Adobe Reader to view the Guides.

Feedback

We really value your opinion on the guides. Please could you take a moment to complete the very short questionnaire below. This will help us in designing our literature and communications for the future.

Thank you for your help.
