KEEP YOUR CAT FREE OF DENTAL DISEASE – Dental disease can cause serious pain and discomfort, but cats are experts at hiding pain. This test reveals signs of dental disease in your cat’s mouth that can’t frequently be seen with the naked eye. Studies show that 50–90% of all adult cats will suffer from dental disease. Don’t let your cat turn into part of this statistic—act early to give protection to your cat from dental disease, pain, tooth extraction, and other costly dental procedures.
PROTECT AGAINST SECONDARY DISEASE – Poor dental health can increase your cat’s risk for other health issues like renal disease and diabetes, further compromising the quality and longevity of your cat’s life. Your cat’s report includes risk scores for periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and bad breath, in conjunction with an evaluation of how these can have an effect on their general health. Testing gives you information to take proactive measures around early recognition, intervention, and remedy.
SAVE MONEY AND AVOID EMERGENCY DENTAL WORK – Cats generally do not show clinical signs until their dental disease is advanced, by which time many teeth may want to be extracted. The sooner an issue is identified, the easier, quicker, and less expensive it may be to treat. Avoid the stress and costs associated with emergency dental care with customized information that puts you in charge of your cat’s health and future wellbeing.
PARTNER WITH YOUR VET – Cats can be challenging to take to the vet, and clinical signs of dental disease rarely show until advanced stages. With the specific results from this convenient at-home test, vets can better provide individualized remedy options targeted to your cat’s unique needs, create a proactive dental care plan to address future needs, and offer personalized education on proactive care. Build a stronger partnership with your vet and get ahead of problems before they start.
