Dental disease is extremely common in cats and can start to appear when your cat is about three years old. If left unchecked, it can progress as dental plaque and tartar continue to build up over time.
“I recently adopted my first cat and called the Botley Cat Clinic to express my concerns. The staff are extremely friendly, polite, listened carefully to what I had to say and were very responsive. When I called with a particular problem they recommended that I bring him in as soon as possible and they made time for us to bring him in within 30 mins. Our cat was treated very well and all was explained over the phone clearly and precisely. Really pleased with this clinic for our first visit and definitely recommend them.”
