Let’s squash this myth 🦷🪥

Dog breath isn’t always an ‘old dog thing’, which for many can be assumed.

Just like us cats and dogs experience dental issues that require attention.

Take a moment to assess your pet’s breath. If it is less than pleasant, it could be a red flag for dental issues such as gum disease, plaque build up, or tooth decay.

If you have noticed any new dental symptoms in your pet then contact us today. ↙️
