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.
“Having recently moved to the area, I so appreciate and love the Cat Clinic in Botley. Not only were they attentive enough to catch a rare condition that our kitten had, they are just generally very communicative, helpful, personable, and flexible. I can often get appointments within the day or at least within the week, and I feel they truly consider and care about our kitties. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
