We want to make sure that you have the information and resources to prevent dental disease with your cats and dogs. Dental health is important because it impacts the whole body. Bacteria from the mouth can spread to vital organs.
Signs of Dental Disease:
- Bad breath
- Tartar build-up and brown teeth
- Red, inflamed gums
- Tooth loss
- Teeth bleeding
- Chewing on sides of mouth
- Decreased appetite
- Weight loss
Prevention:
- Regular brushing of your pet's teeth with a formulated toothpaste (approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council)

- Snacks such as apples and carrots
- Annual dental exams with our veterinarian
