Most pet parents skip tooth brushing, and it’s not just a “bad breath” problem. Dental disease can quietly mess with your pet’s comfort now and their long-term health later. Just $10 and 2 minutes a day can help your pet live longer, happier, and healthier and this episode will show you how and why!
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Chanda Miles, a board-certified veterinary dentist and oral surgeon, to explain why prevention needs to start much earlier than most people think and how to make brushing actually doable in real life.
