The Humane Society said that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease by the age of three. That’s why it’s so important to have regular exams throughout your pet’s life.
“Not only does dental disease affect a pet’s mouth, it can actually shorten the pet’s life as the disease in the mouth can pass throughout the body, causing damage to vital organs, such as the heart and kidneys,” the St. Augustine Humane Society said.
