Happy Smiles, Happy Pets

Morris Animal Foundation

Despite big strides made in oral health awareness among people, there remain some misconceptions about dental care for pets. Add to this the flood of information available online and it can be tough for pet owners to know what’s best for their cat or dog when it comes to maintaining good oral health. Visit Morris Animal Foundation’s booth to learn more about this issue affecting all pets. They’ll cover a few facts about our pets’ teeth and how they differ from human teeth, potential dental health problems and impact, preventives that work, when to start and how to keep your pet’s mouth healthy. You’ll also learn how we treat dental health problems today and about research at Morris Animal Foundation to advance prevention and treatment. Finally, snap some photos in our Healthy Smiles, Happy Pets photo booth and grab a pet dental care kit – you’ll be well on your way to keeping your pets smiling for years to come!
