What is Periodontal disease? 🦷

It's so lets talk about dental problems in dogs and cats.

Periodontal disease occurs when the tissues that surround teeth become infected and inflamed. Bacterial plaque build-up on the teeth causes inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) if not removed. Over time, infection and inflammation spread deeper into the tooth sockets, destroying the bone around the tooth roots – meaning teeth may need to be extracted (if they haven’t already fallen out!).

The good news is that plaque can be removed with daily dental home care, which can include brushing, however there are other dental home care options available for those pets who just will not co-operate with having their teeth brushed. Gingivitis can be reversed if caught early. Speak to us about the best dental care regime for your pet to help keep their teeth clean and healthy!

Here's our vet Patrick with Hugo. Hugo has been an incredibly brave lad for chemotherapy and is now in remission for Lymphoma, a type of cancer. 💚

A big well done to Hugo, everyone involved in his care is very proud of him and Hugo’s fantastic owners.

Chemotherapy is a very effective tool in veterinary medicine to treat certain cancers in dogs and cats. Hugo’s treatment has included- blood test monitoring, tablet chemotherapy medications, intravenous chemotherapy medications and anti-sickness injections. Chemotherapy has and is improving for our pets, showing that there can be treatment for a cancer diagnosis.

January is the month that we usually set ourselves new intentions and resolutions. Our pets are very important to us, so it seems a good idea to include them in our New Year plans.

Our pets bring boundless joy and companionship into our lives. From wagging tails to soothing purrs, they fill our homes with warmth and love. As responsible pet owners, it’s crucial for us to prioritise their health and well-being just as we would for any other family member. One of the best ways to ensure their good health is through regular check-ups and consultations throughout the year.
