Bad breath in pets is just one sign of dental disease that can lead to other health problems. What's more, like people, your pet needs routine dental care too. Most dogs and cats develop dental disease by 3 years of age. And the faster the disease is treated, the easier it is to manage.
 

• Have you noticed that your pet’s breath is bad?
• Do you actually push him or her away from your face because of the smell?

• Is your pet sensitive around the face or muzzle? Pawing at the mouth or face?
• Difficulty chewing?  

• Loss of appetite?

• If you lift the side of your pet’s lip, do you see pearly white teeth and normal pink gums,
   or brownish yellowish tartar and red, swollen gums?
• Loose or missing teeth
 
Just think how you would feel if your teeth and gums were in the condition that your pet’s are in!  Many pet owners question why it is important to have a pet’s teeth cleaned? Good dental health is a vital part of your pet’s general health. Research has shown that dogs and cats with poor dental health are highly likely to develop other diseases from bacteria entering the bloodstream through inflamed, bleeding or infected gums. These bacteria settle in the liver, kidney, urinary bladder, and heart tissue and cause infection in these organs. Moreover, when a pet has a chronic oral (mouth) infection, this is also very hard on his or her immune system, and can limit his ability to fight off other infections and diseases. Make no mistake: periodontal (gum) disease and abscessed teeth are VERY PAINFUL for your pet, and having these conditions treated will help your pet live a longer, healthier, and pain free life!

Ways to keep your pet's teeth healthy
• Bring your pet in for regular check-ups
• Brush your pet's teeth at least a few times a week – we'll show you how
• Choose a pet food formulated to reduce tartar and plaque – ask us for recommendations
• Use plaque-reducing treats and toys
