According to Vet Compass data, periodontitis is the most common disease seen in cats and dogs; however, diagnosing the condition is not always as straightforward as one may think, causing many cases to be missed.
Animalcare has, therefore, launched its new “Lunch and Learn” CPD for veterinary practices interested in learning more about dental health in cats and dogs and helping pet owners to create a more tailored approach to home dental care.
Participating veterinary practices will learn about dental disease pathophysiology and diagnosis, gain valuable insights in pet owner behaviour and learn how to increase client engagement while implementing a dental homecare plan.
Animalcare has also made available free social media packs and waiting room materials to help educate clients on pet dental health.
Will Peel, marketing manager at Animalcare explains: “We know that UK veterinary surgeons consider dental disorders to be one of the most important health related welfare issues currently affecting UK dogs.
“We’ve introduced our CPD sessions to help the entire veterinary team learn more about dental disease and to help them educate their clients about implementing an at home dental regime which works for them and their pets.”
To book your dental Lunch and Learn CPD or to request a social media pack and other materials, please contact your local Animalcare territory manager or email in.
