A Healthier Mouth, A Happier Life
Around here, we know that taking care of your animals means more than just feeding them well and giving them a warm place to sleep—it means looking after every part of their health, teeth included. Dental care isn’t just about non-offensive slobber (though we love that too); it’s about helping your pet live a longer, more comfortable life. We look beyond clean teeth to protect your pet’s overall health and keep them feeling their best.
The Gateway to Good Health
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see—and it can sneak up on even the most well-loved pets. By the time a dog or cat turns three, many are already showing signs of gum disease. If left untreated, that bacteria doesn’t stay in the mouth—it can travel through the bloodstream, affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Watch for signs like:
- Drooling or chewing oddly
- Dropping food from the mouth
- Bad breath
- Facial swelling or bloody saliva
- Loose or discolored teeth
- Pawing at the mouth or changes in appetite
Simple Steps, Big Impact
We recommend annual dental checkups and cleanings as part of your pet’s routine care. Regular brushing at home, dental-friendly treats, and proper nutrition all go a long way. If you’re unsure how to start brushing your pet’s teeth, just ask—we’re happy to show you during your next visit.
