Whether you’re seeing signs of dental disease or just staying ahead of the curve, we’re here to help keep your pet’s smile clean and pain-free.
Why Pet Dental Care Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common — and most preventable — health problems in pets. By age 3, most dogs and cats show some signs of periodontal disease, which can cause:
-
Red or bleeding gums
-
Bad breath
-
Loose or missing teeth
-
Difficulty chewing
-
Pain or infection
-
Damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys (if bacteria spreads from the mouth)
Routine dental care helps prevent these issues and allows your pet to eat, play, and live more comfortably.

Does My Pet Need a Dental Cleaning?
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a dental exam:
-
Bad breath (halitosis)
-
Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
-
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
-
Drooling more than usual

Pawing at the mouth or difficulty eating
Even if you don’t see symptoms, regular cleanings can prevent future issues before they become painful or expensive to treat.
