We are pleased to be offering free pet dental health checks throughout June as part of Pedigree Dental Care Month. The check-ups are free for dogs, cats and rabbits registered at any of our four branches, all of which are participating in the promotion.
Nick Turner, veterinary surgeon here at Ash Tree explains why it is so important for owners to keep an eye on their pet’s oral health. “Most humans have a dental check-up at least once a year but we rarely do the same for our pets. However, they are prone to exactly the same sorts of mouth problems as people are – tooth decay, gum disease, ulcers and abscesses to name but a few. With regular check-ups, these problems can often be prevented.”
Signs that an animal may be experiencing dental problems include reluctance to eat or play, favouring one side of the mouth when eating or chewing or pawing at the mouth. “We would encourage as many owners as possible to take advantage of this free service during June,” adds Nick. “
Clients who book their pets in for the complimentary dental check will also receive a free pack of Pedigree Dentastix and a discount voucher for £20 on any dental treatment involving an anaesthetic, booked within 8 weeks of the free dental consultation. For more information or to book a free dental check call 01858 462 839.
