Welcome to Pet Smile Month
Petsmile Month 2007 was the most successful ever! 1500 veterinary practices throughout the UK donated their time to carry out FREE Petsmile checkups for the nations pets. During these check-ups, veterinary staff assessed the oral health of over 15,000 pets, offering advice on tooth brushing, oral hygiene and dental diets.
Petsmile Month is getting ready for a special September as once again vets all over the country will be offering important free Petsmile oral health checkups to the nations pets. Stay tuned to learn how your pet can receive their oral health check, and join our new Petsmile Club to receive updates and news on what is shaping up to be the biggest and best Petsmile Month ever!
80% of pets over the age of 3 are suffering from dental disease - this accounts for untold pain and illness - most of which is treatable and nearly all is preventable. Pet Smile Month exists to raise awareness of the problems of dental disease and to try and encourage prevention.
In addition to the check-up, pet owners also received a Goody Bag containing samples of dental diets for cats and dogs, as well as special doggy oral hygiene chews. The bags also contained money-off vouchers for owners to redeem in exchange for products such as Logic Oral Hygiene Gel, Royal Canin Dental Diets, Oral Bars, Pedigree Dentastix and Petplan Pet Health insurance.
Prevention of dental disease is better than treatment. Veterinary Dentistry is all about making pets healthier and happier and seeing the benefits that this brings to our pets and their relationships with their owners.
