In this episode of the Paws and Effect podcast, Dr Carra chats with Dr Nic Stirk from Watercrest Vets, who shares his expertise on dental disease in pets and maintaining your pet’s dental hygiene.

They explore why a multi-modal approach is vital, along with professional dental care practices like scaling and polishing. Dr Carra and Dr Nic also guide pet owners through the consequences of negligence, and why starting dental care practices early on in a pet’s life is beneficial.

The two discuss the challenges of treating older pets, and the options available when extractions become necessary. This episode does not only educate but also inspires responsible pet ownership with a focus on preventive care.
