Pet Dental Care
Give Your Pet a Healthier Smile All Year Round!
Dental disease affects most dogs and cats by the age of three, yet it often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful. Regular dental care is an important part of keeping your pet healthy, comfortable and happy.
A healthy mouth can help support your pet’s overall wellbeing, reduce the risk of pain and infection, and improve their quality of life.
Why is Dental Health So Important?
Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions seen in pets. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to inflamed gums, painful teeth, bad breath, tooth loss and infection.
If left untreated, bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream and potentially affect major organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys.
Routine dental care can help your pet live a happier, healthier and more comfortable life.
Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Disease
Your pet may benefit from a dental assessment if you notice:
- Bad breath
- Yellow or brown tartar on the teeth
- Red, swollen or bleeding gums
- Difficulty chewing or dropping food
- Reduced appetite
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Loose or broken teeth
- Excessive drooling
- Changes in behaviour or reluctance to eat hard food
