Pet Dental Health Month
August is the AVA Pet Dental Health Month and this year we are encouraging pet owners to get their teeth into oral care for pets.
An initiative of the Australian Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), a special interest group of the AVA, Pet Dental Health Month is the annual celebration of healthy smiles and the well- being of our pets.
Animal lovers can access information here about dental care for dogs and cats, horses and rabbits. It's your one-stop shop for reliable, accurate and helpful advice from veterinary experts in the field.
There are Pet Dental Health Month activities designed especially for vets and vet nurses. Vet practices are also encouraged to promote Pet Dental Health Month through special promotions or distributing a media release to local media highlighting the importance of looking after the teeth of our furry friends.
AVA Pet Dental Health Month is proudly sponsored by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
