Did you know that over 80% of dogs over the age of three have active dental disease?

Few dogs show obvious signs of dental disease, so it is up to the dog's family and veterinarian to uncover this hidden and often painful condition. The good news is that regular cleanings can help prevent dental disease and keep your pet healthy!

11/13/2024

It’s an unfortunate fact that nearly 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have periodontal disease by the age of 3. Many pets don’t display signs of problems even though they are in pain, so getting your pet used to having their teeth brushed is good for their health and wellness.

While it’s best to teach your pet to accept toothbrushing while they are still young, adult dogs and cats can be trained. It may take a little longer, but it’s worth the effort. Associating rewards with the sessions, before, during and after, can help keep dental care a positive event.

Rats are popular family pets. They are extremely intelligent, inquisitive, interactive, and social. They can be easily trained to come when called and readily learn to perform tricks on command. If they are well socialized from a young age and treated gently, they are easy to handle, affectionate, and rarely bite unless provoked. Rats generally make good family pets but should never be left unsupervised with small children. 🐭

A pet diabetes diagnosis can be stressful! But when it is detected early, and consistently monitored and treated, pets can live long, comfortable lives.

With your loving care and our commitment to your pet’s health, we can manage diabetes together.

11/10/2024

Brushing your pet’s teeth daily will not only prevent tartar formation but also give you a chance to detect potentially serious changes in your pet’s health.

Plaque normally forms on teeth every day, but if it is not removed within 48 hours, it begins to harden into tartar that cannot be brushed away but must be professionally scraped. In addition, bacteria in the mouth can contribute to infections in other organs such as the heart and kidneys.

Most pets also benefit from a professional cleaning at least once every year. Your veterinarian will help you decide the best strategy for keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

One of the most common and useful medical diagnostic procedures is radiography or X-rays. The term X-ray originates from 1895 when the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered the technique. Since he was unsure what exactly was producing the image on his plates, he titled his paper "On a New Kind of Rays" and the term “X-rays” was substituted for unknown rays.https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet =radiographs
