The Discharge Appointment & Home Dental Care

Oral disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in dogs and cats. 80% of adult dogs and 70% of adult cats have some form of oral disease. Unfortunately, that leads to the extraction of teeth that may have been saved. It is important to offer the client treatment options by referring them to a veterinary dental specialist. Owners want what is in their pets' best interest, but may not be aware of alternative treatment options. Remember to never judge what your clients will be willing to do for their pets.
