There are many pet parents in the world that tend to overlook dental health in their pets and this results in consequences such as dental problems and diseases. Thus, to educate and bring to the notice of pet parents, Pet Dental Health Month was introduced. It was done to raise awareness among the animal parents that it is very essential to take care of their pet’s dental health in order to keep dental problems such as gingivitis, plaque formation, and tartar build-up away from them.
