🐾 February is National Pet Dental Health Month! 🦷

Did you know that dental health is just as important for your pet as it is for you? In fact, poor oral hygiene can lead to serious health issues, including heart, liver, and kidney problems. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of keeping your pet’s teeth clean and healthy!

Here’s how you can help your furry friend maintain a sparkling smile:

✨ Brush, Brush, Brush: Brushing your pet’s teeth is the best way to prevent plaque and tartar build-up. A little brushing each day goes a long way in protecting their teeth and gums.

🦷 Dental Check-ups: Schedule a professional dental check-up with us to ensure your pet’s teeth and gums are in tip-top shape.

🥩 Dental Chews & Toys: Help reduce plaque and tartar build-up with dental chews, treats, and toys that promote healthy teeth and gums.

🦷 Watch for Warning Signs: Bad breath, yellow/brown teeth, drooling, or difficulty eating can be signs of dental disease. If you notice any of these, it's time for a visit!

Your pet’s dental health is vital to their overall well-being. Let’s keep those tails wagging and smiles bright! 🐶🐱

Call us today to schedule a dental check up! (607)656-4285 📱

When your dog is running around playing and suddenly starts limping, what do you do? Of course, you want them to feel better as quickly as possible while you figure out what’s going on. You might think that just one dose of your over–the–counter (OTC) or prescription pain reliever could help your pup. But stop right at that thought — just because something is safe for you does not mean it is safe for your dog! In fact, many human medications can be dangerous or even deadly for dogs.

It’s important to keep your medications securely stored and away from your dog. Here’s a list of human medications that are not safe for dogs.
