🐾 Don't Let Dental Care Wait 🦷

Did you know that postponing your pet’s dental care could lead to serious health problems and significantly higher costs down the road?

Here’s why preventive care matters:

- Routine dental cleanings: $400 - $600
- Treatment for advanced dental disease: $500–$3,000
- Systemic health issues (e.g., kidney or heart complications): $1,000–$10,000

By investing in routine dental check-ups, you’re helping to avoid costly treatments and ensuring your pet stays healthy, happy, and comfortable. Preventive care today means fewer health risks tomorrow—for both your pet and your wallet.

Want to protect your pet’s health while managing dental care costs? Here are some practical tips to keep their teeth in great shape and avoid expensive treatments down the road:

🪥 Preventive Care: Brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, using dental chews, or dental wipes can help reduce plaque buildup and delay the need for professional cleanings.
💸 Take Advantage of Promotions: Many veterinary clinics offer discounts during National Pet Dental Health Month in February—plan ahead to save.
📋 Check Your Pet Insurance: Review your policy to see if dental care is covered or if there are discounts available for routine cleanings.
📅 Stay Consistent: Regular dental exams and cleanings (annually or biannually) are essential in preventing advanced dental disease, which can lead to loose teeth, abscess teeth, and other significant health complications.
💳 Explore Payment Options: Ask your veterinarian about payment plans or financing to make dental care more manageable.

Preventive care is not only an investment in your pet’s health but also a way to avoid higher costs later. Prioritizing their dental health now can lead to a longer, happier life for your furry friend.

Roberta’s Dental Journey! 🦷🐾

Meet Roberta, a 7-year-old English Setter rescued from Greece. Years of running free left her teeth with wear and tear, and a lot of tartar. She never had a dental exam or cleaning, so we knew it was time to give her the care she needed.

After her dental cleaning, she had:
- Fresher breath
- Improved appetite
- More playful energy – her favorite activity is playing with her brother Skip

Now, Roberta is happier, healthier, and ready to patrol the yard or snuggle up during rainy days.

Regular dental care isn’t just about fresh breath; it’s about improving your pet’s overall quality of life. Contact us to book your pet’s dental exam appointment today.
