Dental Promotion

Eighty percent of dogs and seventy percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease. This causes odor, at times serious discomfort for the pet, and can have serious adverse effects on your pet's health otherwise. Dr. Douglas Aspros, past president of the AVMA explains: "Good pet owners are concerned about their pet's health and are careful to keep their vaccinations up to date, but may forget about the importance of oral health. Great owners know that this is a big mistake, as periodontal disease is the most common health problem that veterinarians find in pets." 

To do our part in protecting your pet's health we are offering FREE Sanos dental sealant AND 10% OFF dentals for February and March! That's a MINIMUM savings of $150, and even more savings in cases requiring additional dental work.

Sanos is a dental sealant that significantly extends the benefit of the dental by retarding subgingival plaque re-attachment for 6 months or more. Since the location of dental disease in dogs and cats is most commonly in the subgingival space, this product is aimed to protect the most vulnerable area. You can have confidence in the product as it is a Veterinary Oral Health Council approved item. To learn more about Sanos visit the manufacturer website: http://www.allaccem.com/for-pet-owners/ .
