Just like us, our pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. But when is it time for a professional cleaning?

Here are some signs and guidelines to help you decide:

✅ Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath isn’t normal—it’s often a sign of dental disease.
✅ Tartar Buildup: Visible yellow or brown tartar on teeth means it’s time for a cleaning.

Routine cleanings under veterinary supervision help prevent pain, infection, and even systemic health issues like heart and kidney disease.

Did you know that May is National Chip Your Pet Month? Microchipping your pet is a simple and effective way to ensure they can reunite with you if they ever get lost. And with the warmer weather and more outdoor adventures, keeping your furry friend safe is more important than ever. #NationalChipYourPetMonth #MicrochipYourPet #PetSafety

We all want to keep our dogs healthy and happy, and here are a few tips: 1) Keep your dog a healthy weight 2) Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise 3) Take your dog for annual exams 4) Ensure your pet is current on their parasite prevention

We all love our pets and want to do our best to keep them healthy and happy. Here are some tips on keeping your pet healthy: 1) Pay attention to subtle behavior changes to understand what's normal and what's not. 2) Practice pet safety by keeping your pet away from toxic chemicals and using microchips and identification tags. 3) Exercise is just as important for pets as for people! Go for a daily walk, try a new class together, or build a fun cat perch. 4) Schedule annual wellness exams 5) Brushing your pet's teeth will keep your pet's mouth healthy, and oral health is a foundation of health!

In keeping with the theme of National Pet Dental Health Month, it's important to note that our gum health is important too! Pets are susceptible to tartar on their teeth, just like people. Once tartar begins to develop, it can lead to gum irritation. As gums become inflamed, they can pull away from the teeth, which creates pockets that trap more bacteria and food particles. Your pet's teeth can become loose and painful. This is why it's so important to have your pet's teeth checked by your vet regularly!

Have you experienced your cat approaching you with a straight, almost vibrating tail? This means that they are extremely happy to see you.

Love is a four-legged word. ❤️ 😻
