  Dental Disease  
 

Dental disease is the most common disease seen in pets.  In fact, the majority of cats aged over five years have some form of dental disease.  Dental disorders are painful, and can lead to other illnesses such as liver disease, kidney infections, and heart damage. If a dental problem becomes pronounced, your cat’s ability to eat is hindered and eating may become painful.  Unfortunately, dental problems can go unnoticed by pet owners.

February is National Pet Dental Month.  To encourage cat owners to take good care of their cats’ teeth, Manhattan Cat Specialists is offering, during the month of February, a free dental evaluation by one of our licensed veterinary technicians (Rita or Hiromi).  During this screening, the technician will evaluate the condition of your cats’ teeth and gums and will inform you if it appears that your cat has issues that need further evaluation.  We can also advise you on how to keep your cats teeth healthy at home, and provide free samples of dental treats and diets that can help reduce the incidence dental problems.

Providing proper dental care for your cat can protect it from pain and serious illness.  Your cat will have fresh breath, be more comfortable eating, and enjoy meals more, allowing for a longer and happier life.

Call our office at 212-721-2287 and schedule your free dental screening during the month of February.
