Keep Their Smile Bright: Why February is National Dental Month

National Dental Month: Is Your Pet’s Smile Healthier Than It Smells?

We’ve all experienced it—the infamous "dog breath." While we often joke about it, your pet’s oral health is actually a serious window into their overall well-being. This February, All Dogs N Cats is celebrating National Dental Month by helping Columbia pet parents understand that a clean mouth does more than just freshen breath—it can add years to your pet’s life.

The Heart-Mouth Connection:

Did you know that dental disease is the most common health issue in dogs and cats? When bacteria build up on the teeth and gums, it doesn't stay there. It can enter the bloodstream and affect major organs, including the heart, kidneys, and liver.

How We Help: Professional Teeth Brushing Service

The best defense is a good offense. While a professional vet cleaning is sometimes necessary, regular maintenance is the key to prevention. At All Dogs N Cats, we offer a Teeth Brushing add-on for all our grooming sessions.

• Plaque Removal: We use pet-safe enzymes to break down buildup.
• Breath Freshening: Immediate relief from "stinky breath."
• Gum Inspection: We look for redness or swelling and notify you if we see anything that needs a vet’s attention.

At-Home Tips for Pet Parents:

Fresh Breath is Just an Add-On Away!

Celebrating National Dental Month? Ask us to add a Teeth Brushing session to your pet's next groom for just a small fee. It's the easiest way to keep those pearly whites shining!
