NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The GREENIES Brand - makers of the #1 veterinary-recommended pet specialty dental chew - is excited to announce the second annual GREENIES Pet Oral Health Event, which will take place at PETCO stores across the country on July 30 and 31.

Approximately 75 percent of pets three years and older show signs of poor dental health - the most commonly diagnosed health issue in pets. The good news is that it's easy to prevent oral health issues; that's why The GREENIES Brand team is partnering with PETCO to educate pet owners on good oral health and its benefit to overall pet health.
The GREENIES Pet Oral Health Event is a free, in-store event designed to help pet parents better understand the significance of pet oral health. The event will emphasize the importance of regular professional oral care by a veterinarian and at-home preventive care through daily tooth brushing or efficacious products like GREENIES Dental Chews and Treats. Pet parents attending the event will not only learn about the most common oral diseases in pets and how to prevent them, but will also receive valuable product coupons redeemable at PETCO.
"We're proud to bring veterinary professionals and PETCO stores together to help educate pet parents on the importance of good oral health in pets," said Monica Barrett, corporate affairs manager for The GREENIES Brand.
The GREENIES Pet Oral Health Event will take place in PETCO stores nationwide on Saturday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, July 31, from 12 p.m.
to 4 p.m. Local veterinary technicians will be participating in the event at select stores from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
