PET owners can get a free dental check-up for their furry friends during Pet Smile Month this month.
During September, the de Montfort Veterinary Hospital at Merstow Green will be joining 1,500 other vets across the country to offer the free checks, as it is estimated that 80 per cent of cats and dogs over the age of three need dental treatment. As dental diseases progress, bacteria from the mouth can affect organs like the kidney and heart via the blood stream.
