Animal dental care

The month of February is nationally designated as the Pet Dental Health Care Month. Dental care is a very important part of all dogs and cats health care because 85% of all dogs and cats that are 3 years of age or older have gingivitis, which is the first stage of dental disease that leads to periodontal disease, tooth loss and even systemic disease such as heart, liver and/or kidney infections. To celebrate this month and to encourage families to provide necessary dental care to their 4-legged members, Lake Chatuge Animal Hospital will be providing 15% discounts on all dental services and products during the month of February.
