Customers will also be able to take away information on dental hygiene so all pets across the country will be smiling brightly.
Dental care is an important aspect of pet healthcare, yet it is often overlooked.
Just like humans, pets can suffer from dental problems, for example, 80 per cent of dogs are affected by gum disease and between 50 and 90 per cent of cats older four years suffer dental diseases.

By the age of three, over three quarters of all pets have developed some form of periodontal disease.
It is the responsibility of owners to make sure that their pets receive proper dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Jollyes’ Phil Turner-Naylor said: “Teeth and gum issues are one of the most common reasons people bring their dogs and cats to the vets.
