February is Dental Awareness Month

Oak Animal Hospital is dedicated to the health and well-being of your beloved pet. The prevention and early detection of disease gives us the opportunity to significantly improve your pets quality of life and longevity. This is especially true with periodontal (dental) disease, which is the most common health problem in pets.

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have oral disease by the age of 3.

In many instances, the changes associated with dental disease go unnoticed, pets may continue to eat and chew normally while coping with an underlying dental problem. Plaque and tartar accumulation can cause bad breath, gum disease and can increase the risk of an infection that may affect other organs in the body. This is why it is so important that your pet has a regular dental examination.

During the month of February & July, it is “Dental Awareness Month” at Oak Animal Hospital. In addition to our regular dental health examinations, our team will have a number of educational materials and tips to help you with your pets home dental care program.

To honor your commitment to your pet we have decided to reward you with a $150 Discount, a pet dental pack and a complimentary bag of canine/feline Hill’s t/d to every pet that receives a professional dental cleaning during the month of February and July. Hill’s t/d has a unique kibble design and formulation which has been clinically proven to reduce the accumulation of plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease and eventual tooth loss.

We look forward to preparing a personalized home dental care program for your pet. Please click here, drop by, call us at 604-739-7111, or email us at reception@oakvet.com to schedule your appointment.
