With Valentine's Day just around the corner and National Pet Dental Health Month here already we are reminded just how important our pet's oral care really is.
With only one per cent of pet owners regularly brushing their pet’s teeth it’s no surprise that veterinarians have seen a rise in kidney and heart problems as a result of oral infections. But let’s face it- this is the real world. Not everyone- myself included- has time to brush their pet’s teeth every day.

This month's featured feline is larger than life
The Maine Coon is one of the largest breeds of domestic cat with some recorded as weighing up to 19 pounds. With its Lynx like ears and lion-like mane this feline looks more like an animal of the wild than a house pet but its temperament couldn’t be tamer - this gentle giant possesses above average intelligence and is very calm and mellow. The breed has been gaining popularity since it was first entered in a cat show in May of 1895.
