Dental disease refers to any abnormality of the teeth, gums, or mouth. Pets with dental disease may have tartar build up on their teeth, stinky breath 🤢, pain when eating/chewing, sore and red gums, etc. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to book an exam with your veterinarian. ☎️
While some pets may be genetically prone, there are some things you can do to decrease the risk of your pet developing dental disease! These include at-home dental care 🪥(e.g. brushing your pet's teeth), dental-specific foods 🍴, regular dental cleanings with your veterinarian 🩺, and more!
Not only are they annoying, but mosquitoes can also transmit some really nasty parasites and diseases! These diseases can affect humans, pets, or both! 🦟
For our pets, there are prevention options available against some of the diseases transmitted from mosquitoes, such as heartworm! Not sure if your pet would benefit from prevention? Call us today!
