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.
