🦷 Pet Dental Awareness Month 🦷
🦷❤️ The Link Between Dental Health & Heart Health in Pets ❤️🦷
Did you know that your pet’s dental health can directly impact their heart health? Poor oral hygiene doesn’t just lead to bad breath—it can cause serious heart disease and other health issues.
Here’s how:
🦠 Bacteria Buildup – When plaque and tartar accumulate, harmful bacteria can enter the bloodstream.
❤️ Heart Disease Risk – These bacteria can travel to the heart, leading to inflammation, infections, and even heart valve disease.
🩸 Other Organ Damage – The liver and kidneys can also be affected by bacteria from dental disease, leading to systemic health issues.
The good news? Regular dental cleanings and at-home care can help protect your pet’s heart and overall health!
Book a dental check with us today to keep those teeth clean and those hearts strong. 🐶🐱💙
🦷 The Truth About Pet Dental Care 🦷
We all want our pets to have healthy teeth, but did you know that a proper dental cleaning needs to be done under anesthesia for it to be truly effective and safe? Here’s why:
✅ Thorough Cleaning: Tartar and plaque build up below the gumline, where it can cause infection and tooth loss. A professional cleaning under anesthesia allows us to fully clean and protect your pet’s teeth something that’s impossible when they’re awake.
✅ Pain-Free & Stress-Free: Dental procedures involve sharp instruments and ultrasonic scalers. Anesthesia ensures your pet feels no pain and stays still, preventing injury and stress.
✅ Proper Assessment: While under anesthesia, we can take X-rays to detect hidden problems like tooth root infections or bone loss issues that often go unnoticed in an awake exam.
Cleaning a pet’s teeth while they’re awake may remove surface plaque but doesn’t address the real issues lurking beneath. Professional, anaesthetised dental cleanings are the gold standard for long term dental health and disease prevention.

🥹 Rufus 🥹
The gentlemanly Rufus visited us recently for some diagnostic investigations.
He stole the hearts of the nursing team with his charm. All of your babies are loved like our own when they are here and Rufus was no different.
I don't think I saw his kennel empty of a nurse giving him cuddles, treats or whispering him to sleep.
We love them for you, whilst they are here with us ♥️
🩺 Did you know? 🩺
We offer laser therapy in partnership with the wonderful Helen from listen to the paws? Many of our Swadlincote clients already benefit from laser sessions with their pets.
But we have some exciting news! Helen will now be offering her services at our Tamworth branch!
Starting on the 30th January, every Thursday between 3-6pm she will have appointments available at Tamworth. She is accepting referral or first opinion clients so you don't have to be registered with us to benefit from this treatment, your vet can refer you if it is a service they do not offer.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us! We will share some other success stories and benefits of laser therapy with you in the coming days!
