Cats are known for their independent nature and grace, but like all pets, they’re not immune to health issues.

Left untreated, it can lead to painful conditions such as tooth decay and even tooth loss. If your cat shows signs like drooling, reluctance to eat, or pawing at its mouth, it’s time for a vet visit​.
