“I need a new home! I’m a 7 1/2 month old male Siamese cat, very affectionate, living at the hospital because my former family couldn’t deal with my “intestinal” problems. When I’m eating my special prescription food, though, it’s all good. If you want to adopt me, just call the Mar Vista Animal Medical Center at 310-391-6741 and ask about Tiger.”  Web Remodel Still in Progress National Veterinary Dental Month: Dental Special 2007 Denice Retires Mar Vista Farmers Market Every Sunday Interesting External Links Greenies have been reformulated for faster dissolving in the stomach.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND DENTAL HOME CARE
Periodontal disease affects approximately 80% of dogs and cats by age 3 years. We all see commercials for mouthwashes and special toothpastes for ourselves, so we have some idea about plaque and gingivitis. To see how this concerns our pets and to find out what to do about it, visit this page in The Pet Web Library.
