Now that veterinarians know how to provide good dental care, why aren more pets getting it?
We know it’s not because owners don’t care. Many studies have shown that Americans generally consider our pets members of our families and we want to do what’s best for them. And, I know many very loving owners whose pets haven’t gotten the dental care they need over the years. I know that many pet owners would be providing better dental care if they understood how effective it can be in keeping their pets healthy, extending their lives and making them so much more comfortable. So, it’s not a lack of caring. Why then? We think the reason most pets aren’t getting the dental care they need boils down to us vets not doing a good enough job providing the information to owners and committing to providing high quality dental care to patients.
