In this episode of Pet Tips, Eckerd College's Maddie Merrick reports on the importance of an annual vet visit and some tips and issues for dental health and senior pets.
Dental health is crucial for senior pets, requiring more frequent vet checkups (every 6 months) and diligent home care like brushing, dental chews, and special diets to combat common issues like periodontal disease, tooth decay, and oral tumors. Watch for bad breath, difficulty eating, or pawing at the mouth, and use veterinarian-approved products (VOHC) to prevent pain and maintain overall health.
