Need a cure for the Monday blues? Our photo feature is here to help provide a brief diversion from your workday routine with a small dose of squee, wow and aww. Enjoy!

Everyone loves a good smile. Like yawns, they seem to be contagious. You see one and can’t help but smile yourself; however, we often forget that the building blocks to a spectacular smile are healthy teeth. The same holds true for animals. Oral hygiene through pet teeth cleaning is an important component of a healthy pet.

So there’s no better time to celebrate than Dentist’s Day on March 6. Thanks to all the veterinarians who care for our whole pets — including the teeth. Enjoy pictures that will hopefully bring a smile to your face.
