Is your pet’s breath coming between you?

Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a dental exam and cleaning. 

Without proper care, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your best friend’s life. 

The good news is, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at V.E.T. Care Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to book a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the outcome for your pet. We’ll also show you how you can help keep those teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your animal friend. The comprehensive dental services at V.E.T. Care Hospital can help get you there!
