Pet dental health: An important market for the petfood industry

February is National Pet Dental Health Month, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and if giving this subset of pet health its own month doesn't underline its importance to the petfood industry, perhaps this will: the AVMA says that periodontal disease is the most common clinical condition in cats and dogs. However you look at it, pet owners are becoming increasingly aware of their pets' teeth and mouths as part of overall animal health, and the petfood industry is taking steps to capitalize on that awareness.

Nylabone products offers Nutri Dent Complete dental treats for dogs, clinically proven to clean teeth and freshen breath even better than weekly brushing, according to the company.
