Some dogs (usually small breeds) can require a dental treatment every six months. Other dogs may be able to go three to four years between cleanings. Typically, after the age of two or three, most dogs and cats will need a dental every one to two years. Assessment by your veterinarian will allow you to discuss your pet’s dental health and if excessive plaque or periodontal disease requires a cleaning. Remember, good oral hygiene at home increases the time between professional cleanings. Pet Care Center celebrates Dental Month 4 times a year; in February, May, August, and November. During those months, we offer a significant discount off of the cost of a dental procedure.
