The GREENIES® Pet Oral Health Event is a free, in-store event designed to help pet owners better understand the importance of a healthy mouth for dogs and cats. The event will emphasize how veterinary care should play a proactive role in pet oral care, and it focuses on preventive care at home through daily tooth brushing or efficacious products like GREENIES® Dental Chews and Treats.
"Pet parents must realize that pets are not that different from humans in that they require daily oral care," said veterinary dental expert Dr. Jan Bellows, incoming president of the American Veterinary Dental College. "The GREENIES® Pet Oral Health Event is a great opportunity for pet parents to become more informed on how to care for their pets' mouths at home, and when and why they should seek the advice of their veterinarian."
The GREENIES® Pet Oral Health Event will take place in PETCO stores nationwide on Saturday, August 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, August 5, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
