24 Hour Emergency Service - We are available to our clients in the most stressful times
Preventative Medicine - As partners in your animal's health, it is our responsibility to protect the pet and the owner from various problems he or she can encounter and bring into your home.
Dental health is important because Periodontal disease can be very uncomfortable and may affect activity level, eating, and quality of life. Plaque and tartar continuously build up on your pet's teeth. Bacteria lives and multiplies in the plaque layer and will invade the gums. This bacteria can spread to the blood stream and infect other organs - heart, kidneys.
If dental cleanings are performed regularly:
teeth are less likely to be extracted
improve animal's breath
For most of us, caring for our teeth and gums has been part of our daily routine for as long as we can remember. Just as it is for you, oral health care is important for pets. They need regular, professional care from your veterinarian and home care from pet owners to keep plaque removed. An astounding 80% of dogs and cats show signs of oral disease by the age of 3, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society.
