New resources to support veterinary practices in raising awareness of good dental health in pets

February sees the return of pet dental health month and Animalcare has released a range of materials to help veterinary practices raise awareness of the importance of maintaining good dental health in pets

Animalcare, which distributes the Plaqtiv+ oral home care range, has updated its popular waiting room board kit for veterinary staff to create an appealing visual reminder of the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of dental disease and implementation of a tailored dental home care regime.

Practices will also benefit from a pet dental health month social media pack which includes imagery, videos and copy to use on their social media channels and client-facing waiting room screens. Dental charts are also available to help explain dental aftercare in post-op appointments.  

Will Peel, marketing manager at Animalcare says: “Most dogs and cats will have some degree of periodontal disease by the time they are one and three years old respectively (Niemiec et al., 2020); however, it can often be difficult to identify and pet owners can often disregard the signs of dental problems, assuming that their pet’s bad breath is normal.

“We know that veterinary staff recognise the importance of oral health, so we’ve created this range of materials specifically to support veterinary practices and to help people better understand how they can maintain good dental health in their pets.”

Animalcare’s Plaqtiv+ range of dental products includes Plaqtiv+ oral spray, Plaqtiv+ toothpaste, Plaqtiv+ water additive and Plaqtiv+ wipes.
