0:00.0	Pets bring so much joy from those happy greetings at the door to the warm
0:05.2	cuddles on the sofa so give a little love back with dental life from Purina a
0:10.6	range of delicious chews made for dogs and tasty snacks for cats that help clean and support your pets teeth and gums.
0:18.5	Essential for their overall well-being and a happy healthy life. They give you plenty of smiles so look
0:25.5	after theirs with dental life. Pick up dental life in the pet food aisle.
