Regular dental cleanings are essential for your pet’s overall health and well-being. Dental disease can affect more than just their teeth, it can lead to serious complications in vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver. At North Care Animal Hospital, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning once a year to prevent severe dental problems.
The dental cleaning process requires sedation to ensure your pet is comfortable and safe while we thoroughly clean their teeth and gums. Addressing dental issues early can help avoid the need for extensive extractions due to gum infections or advanced disease.
Dental disease in pets progresses through four stages:
Stage 0: Healthy teeth and gums
Stage 1: Mild inflammation of the gum surface
Stage 2: Swelling and bleeding when touched with a probe
Stage 3: Inflammation, swelling, infection with pus, bleeding when gums are touched with a dental probe and moderate bone loss (25-50%)
Stage 4: Severe inflammation, infection with pus, bleeding gums,loose teeth, and extensive bone loss (>50%)
By maintaining regular cleanings, you’re ensuring your pet’s comfort, preventing painful dental conditions, and supporting their overall health for years to come. Keep their smile and their heart healthy! 🪥🦷🐶😺 #northvancouver #dentalcleaning #smiles #happypets #pawsome #christmaspets

Ear mites are common parasites in cats, especially in kittens and outdoor cats. Highly contagious, they spread through close contact with infested animals. While they cause significant irritation, ear mites are usually not life-threatening; however, untreated infestations can lead to serious complications like hearing loss.
Symptoms include thick, dark ear debris, ear pain, head shaking, scratching, head tilting, strong odors, hair loss around the ears and eyes, lethargy, and decreased appetite. Kittens often contract mites from their mothers, and outdoor cats are at higher risk.
If you suspect ear mites, consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. Preventive measures, including regular check-ups and monthly treatments, can help keep your cat healthy.
