Animalcare has published a selection of materials to help veterinary practices promote good dental health during Pet Dental Health Month which runs in February. 

The company has created a new waiting room board kit as a way for veterinary staff to remind owners of the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of dental disease.  

Animalcare has also created a Pet Dental Health Month social media pack with content practices can use on their social media channels.

During the month, the company will be offering dental CPD and prizes for the most creative and engaging waiting room displays.

Will Peel, Animalcare Marketing Manager said: "According to the RVC's VetCompass data, periodontitis is the most common disease seen in cats and dogs however, it can often be difficult to identify and pet owners can often disregard the signs of dental problems, assuming that their pet’s bad breath is normal.

‘Our popular Lunch and Learn sessions have demonstrated to us that veterinary staff recognise the importance of raising dental health awareness, so we’ve created this range of materials specifically to support veterinary practices and their patients.’
