August is Dental Month at Mira Mar Vets!

by | Aug 2, 2022 | Latest Monthly Newsletters, Pet Care

Each year Mira Mar Vets celebrates National Pet Dental Month in August by raising awareness of pet dental health, and this year, the target is younger pets!

Did you know that 70% of cats and 80% of dogs have some form of dental disease after the age of three years?

In 2022 we are paying attention to the detection of early dental disease in our pets aged between 2 and 7 years of age, as we know that early detection can enhance your pet’s dental health for years to come.

Did you know: that Mira Mar Vets has the most advance dental equipment in the Great Southern region?  We have a full dental x-ray suite, and a dental x-ray profile is provided as part of the service for ALL animals undergoing a dental procedure.  This means we have accurate information about the state of your pet’s tooth roots – so that all diseased teeth can be identified, and also ensuring that no teeth are extracted unnecessarily.  A lot of dental disease occurs BELOW the gumline, so dental x-rays are the gold standard to detect disease before it is obvious externally.

For the month of AUGUST at Mira Mar Vets, any pet, young or old, can get a FREE dental health check with one of our veterinary nurses to assess the state of your pet’s teeth.  We will also have a FREE dental treat as a reward for your pet!

If you would like to book your free dental check appointment with us, or book in a dental treatment for your pet, give us a call on 9841 5422.

Office hours:
8.00am – 5.00pm weekdays
8.30am – 12.00pm Saturday
Consultations BY APPOINTMENT

We look forward to seeing you and your pet soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, give us a call and we will be happy to assist.
