Dental care is very important to your pets health. Bad dental health can lead to infections, poor organ function, heart complications & much more. At NAC, we may recommend to have routine dental cleaning throughout your pet’s life to prevent any secondary issues from occurring. We also recommend that you brush your pet’s teeth regularly to slow the forming of bacteria & tartar.
