Most dogs at some time will suffer from dental or gum disease. Even in puppy stages, problems with temporary teeth can occur, especially in smaller and mini breeds.
Doggy breath is a sign that dental problems may exist. If your pet has difficulty eating, is dribbling, has bleeding gums or you notice brown plaque (a substance coating the teeth), your pet will need a dental check. Bacteria and toxins present in an infected mouth will cause pain and can even affect heart and kidney function in extreme cases.
Our aim is for your pet to maintain healthy strong teeth and gums. Contact us today to make an appointment for a dental check-up. Let’s start the year fresh and in good health.
