Your pets depend on you for their care, which includes caring for their teeth. Periodontal Disease is the number one health problem diagnosed in pets and according to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), it affects nearly 80% of dogs and cats over the age of three. Bacteria and plaque can progress into bleeding gums, tooth loss, and can even cause damage to the heart and other internal organs. Tartar Shield products are clinically proven to significantly reduce bacteria and plaque, helping to keep your pet healthy and happy.
