Big Boy Fisher

Big Boy is a handsome 4 year old, grey and white tiger cat whose veterinarian, Dr. Detelich, recommended a dental cleaning. At his last physical examination, Big Boy’s Dental Grade was Grade II by Dr. Detelich. Grade II dental health means that there are early, reversible signs of dental disease and a cleaning and polishing are required to start treatment. The only thing Big Boy’s mom, Carol, had noticed was that Big Boy had been dropping pieces of dry food out of his mouth at mealtime. Other than that, she had not noticed anything else warning her that Big Boy had early dental disease, which left untreated, would become serious and painful. How did Big Boy respond to his clean, healthier teeth after his cleaning? Mom Carol said, “He was super cat! Extra playful with his companion cat; very snuggly and “purr-ful” with his “person!” She also noticed that he was no longer dropping food around his bowl which meant neater meal times and no more worry. Carol’s advice for other cat moms and dads? “Dental cleanings are important! Dental problems don’t just impact the mouth, but the entire wellbeing of your pet. Happy pets=happy owners!”
