Up to 85% of dogs and up to 70% of cats over 3 years of age suffer from dental disease.How do you know if your pet has dental disease?Some of the clinical signs of dental disease include:

  • Bad breath
  • Drooling/excess salivation
  • Broken teeth
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Loss of appetite
  • Tartar build updental

Dental disease is easily preventable, but it is one of the most commonly diagnosed problems in our pets by veterinarians every year.  If dental disease goes untreated, it can lead to other health problems, such as bacterial infections affecting the heart, liver and kidneys.

Come in and have a consultation with one of our vets to find out if your pet has dental disease. Our friendly staff can also assist you in finding the best course of action for preventing dental disease for your pets.  Our staff can show you how to brush your pets teeth, recommend a dental friendly diet or dental chews.
