🦷 Why Professional Dental Cleanings Matter for Your Pet 🐾

Dental disease is one of the most common — and most overlooked — health issues in pets. By age 3, most dogs and cats already show signs of periodontal disease. That’s why professional dental cleanings performed under anesthesia at a veterinary clinic are so important.

✅ Allows thorough cleaning above and below the gumline
✅ Provides pain-free care and protects your pet’s airway
✅ Helps prevent tooth loss, infections, and organ damage
✅ Improves breath, comfort, and overall health

⚠️ “Anesthesia-free” cleanings cannot address disease beneath the gums and may allow serious problems to go unnoticed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and long-term health always come first.

🪥 Healthy mouth = healthier life!

🥩 Raw Diets: What Pet Owners Should Know 🐾

Raw food diets for pets have become popular — but it’s important to understand the risks before making the switch. While the idea of “natural feeding” sounds appealing, raw diets can come with serious health concerns for both pets and people.

⚠️ Potential Risks Include:
🦠 Bacteria contamination – Raw meat can contain Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, which can make pets (and their humans) sick.
⚖️ Nutritional imbalances – Many homemade or commercial raw diets lack essential nutrients needed for long-term health.
💩 Parasites – Undercooked or uninspected meat may contain harmful parasites.
👩‍👧 Human health risks – Handling or being exposed to contaminated raw food increases risk for illness in families, especially kids or immunocompromised individuals.

💡 Our Recommendation:
If you’re considering a raw or alternative diet, talk to your veterinarian first. We can help you choose a diet that’s safe, balanced, and tailored to your pet’s needs — without the risks. ❤️🐶🐱
