Did you know that by age three, many dogs and cats show signs of dental disease?
According to the Canadian Veterinarian Medical Association, by age three, 80% of dogs and cats show signs of periodontal disease. If left untreated, dental disease in pets can lead to serious health issues.
Petsecure dental plans include:
- Routine dental prophylaxis (cleanings)
- Tooth extractions and oral surgery
- Dental radiographs
- Pre-anesthetic diagnostic testing
- Anesthetic time, monitoring and IV fluids during the dental procedure
- Post-surgical medications
- Dental preventative product coverage is available with a DIN (Drug Identification Number) or NPN (Natural Product Number) when recommended by your veterinarian
Just like in humans, eating can cause a buildup of plaque and tartar in your pet’s mouth. This can lead to pain and discomfort.
