Did you know that February was National Pet Dental Health Month?  Bad breath and gums can signal serious health issues in your pet, so it’s very important to keep a close eye on your pup or kitty’s mouth.  According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats will develop some type of dental disease by the age of 3.  Not only can dental disease lead to abscesses, gum disease and tooth loss, but it can also affect organs like the heart, liver and kidneys.  Practice good dental hygiene at home [inspect your pet’s mouth and gums and brush their teeth!] and have them checked regularly by a veterinarian.  Today’s blog post features a Shiba Inu showing off his pearly whites for a judge at the Chester Valley Kennel Club show last year.  Right below is another image of the same pooch with her classic “Mona Lisa Smile”!  🙂
