Four out of five dogs over the age of three years have teeth problems and suffer from dental disease so Young Veterinary Partnership has teamed up with Pedigree Pet Food to offer a free dental check up during Dental Care Month in June 2011.

For the whole of the month of June you can bring your pet along to our surgeries in Hounslow and Brentford for a free dental exam with one of our vets. We can give you advice on cleaning your pets’ teeth and diets and chews that can help keep teeth and gums healthy. Areas of concern that may require further treatment can be brought to your attention. This examination is free of charge during June.

Dental care is extremely important to the well being of your pets. Animal teeth need just as much care and attention as human teeth. If neglected, your pets’ teeth, like your own can suffer from infection, pain, cavaties and eventually tooth loss/decay. Unfortunately we cannot yet fit doggy/cat dentures! Therefore it is important to have your pets’ teeth regularly checked (every six months). When problems start they are better treated straight away as they will only get worse over time causing chronic pain and bad breath (halitosis).

Simply phone and book your free dental check appointment during June. Plus you can take home a free pack of Pedigree ® Dentastix ® for your dog as a reward for being good at the dentist!
