Dental issues can develop gradually, which is why February is the perfect time to check in on your pet's oral health. Plaque can harden into tartar over time, potentially leading to gum inflammation and more serious dental disease if left untreated.

Early signs can be easy to miss, but may include bad breath, red or swollen gums, visible buildup on teeth, or changes in chewing behavior.

Regular brushing, dental treats and routine veterinary exams all play a role in supporting long-term oral health and comfort.
