All Pets Are at Risk for Dental Disease,
Including Yours!



Pet periodontal disease is no fun for you or your pet.  You may have noticed bad breath, a sign of bacteria attacking your pet's teeth and gums.  Untreated dental disease can lead to infection, loss of tissues and bone that support the teeth and other very serious health problems, such as heart, liver, and kidney failure. 

Signs of periodontal disease include:  
Bad breath, yellow-brown crust on teeth,
    bleeding gums, change of chewing or eating habits,
tooth loss, change in behavior, abnormal drooling.

Once your pet displays any of the warning signs below, serious periodontal disease may be present.  We can help.  Every regular exam in our hopsital includes a thorough dental exam.  If we find signs of the diesease, we will recommend a treatment plan.  A key part of keeping your pet healthy is home oral care.
