🐾 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.

Think bad breath is just part of being a pet? 🐶🐱 Think again! There are many myths about pet dental care, but we’re here to set the record straight. Healthy teeth = a healthier, happier pet! 🦷✨
Here are some common myths we’re busting today:
🚫 Myth: Bad breath is normal.
✅ Truth: It’s often a sign of dental disease! Fresh breath means healthy teeth and gums.

🚫 Myth: Pets don’t need their teeth brushed.
✅ Truth: Regular brushing helps prevent tartar buildup, just like for humans.

🚫 Myth: Dry food keeps teeth clean.
✅ Truth: While dry food may scrape some plaque, it doesn’t replace regular cleanings.

🚫 Myth: Pets don’t show pain from dental issues.
✅ Truth: Pets may hide their discomfort, so regular dental checkups are crucial.

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.

Regular nail trims and a**l gland care are essential for your pet’s health and comfort. Neglecting these routines can lead to pain, infections, and discomfort.

👉 Nail Trims:
Not trimming your pet’s nails regularly can lead to overgrowth, which may cause painful walking or even result in nails growing into the paw pads, causing infection. Overgrown nails can also get caught on carpets or furniture, leading to injury.

👉 A**l Gland Care:
If not expressed regularly, a**l glands can become impacted or even infected, causing discomfort, pain, and excessive licking or scooting. In severe cases, untreated a**l glands can rupture, leading to the need for more invasive treatments.

📅 Call us today to schedule a tech appointment for these essential services anytime or have them taken care of during your pet’s annual wellness visit. You can also book online for convenience! 🐶🐱

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.

🐾 Is Your Pet in Dental Pain? Here's What to Look For 🐾

Dental pain in pets can be hard to spot, but if your pet is showing any of these signs, they may need a dental exam:

🤤 Excessive drooling
✋ Pawing at their mouth
🐾 Change in chewing behavior
🍖 Dropping food while chewing
😖 Avoiding having their face or mouth touched
🍽️ Not interested in dry food or hard treats

Bad breath, loose teeth, and bleeding of the gums are also signals of dental disease.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for a dental exam to keep your pet's mouth healthy and pain-free.
