February is Pet Dental Health Month!

January 23, 2025

Pet Dental Health Month, recognized every February, is a month of awareness of the importance of maintaining your pet’s dental health. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by a veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Have your pet’s teeth checked sooner if you observe any of the following problems:

  • Bad breath
  • Broken or loose teeth
  • Extra teeth or retained baby teeth
  • Teeth that are discolored or covered in tartar
  • Abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food from the mouth
  • Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
  • Pain in or around the mouth
  • Bleeding from the mouth
  • Swelling in the areas surrounding the mouth

Starting Feb. 1, when an AMCMA client purchases a canine or feline wellness package, they will receive a 5 percent discount on a (true) grade 1 dental cleaning (no extractions) scheduled within six months of their appointment. Call 314-951-1534 to learn more about this great deal!
