🦷🐾 Keep Your Pet's Smile Healthy! 🐾🦷

Dental health is a crucial part of your pet’s overall well-being. Dental problems can cause or be caused by other health issues, so regular check-ups are essential.

Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian for early signs of problems and to keep their mouth healthy. Schedule a dental check-up sooner if you notice any of the following:

🦷Bad breath
🦷Broken or loose teeth
🦷Extra teeth or retained baby teeth
🦷Discolored or tartar-covered teeth
🦷Abnormal chewing, drooling, or dropping food
🦷Reduced appetite or refusal to eat
🦷Pain in or around the mouth
🦷Bleeding from the mouth
🦷Swelling around the mouth

Changes in your pet’s behavior can also indicate dental problems. Always approach their mouth with care, as a painful pet may bite.

Book your pet’s dental check-up today to ensure a healthy, happy smile! 🐶🐱❤️
