As we complete February dental health month, we still have a few items that are approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council.
To be honest, I did not know about this organization of dedicated veterinarians who scientifically test the different tartar control products.
Isn't it true that just about every other product you see on the dog and cat shelves claims to have 'tartar control' or 'tartar reduction'. But are the claims true?
According to the Veterinary Oral Health Council web site
They have a list of products that have been the approval of the VOHC. And interestingly, there are only 22 items. It sounds like a lot until you realize very few are in the 'treat' category, and only one is one of the water additives.
Check out the site to see what is a better food and treat for your dog and cat. And call us to pick up the T/D food for the $5.00 off that the manufacturer extended to us. As you look at the chart on the VOHC web site, you will notice that the T/D food was the first the receive the approval of the Veterinary Oral Health Council.
Mallory and Cherie attended the Mississippi Valley Veterinary Conference. Dr Rolan Tripp, a veterinary behaviorist, was the speaker, and they received a lot of great information. Look here and on our web site, and email newsletter and Facebook page for the expanding opportunities to teach your dog or cat new 'citizenship'.
