Is bad breath driving a wedge between you and your pet?
Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s likely a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist.
Without proper care, your companion’s mouth can attract and harbor bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to kidney, liver, and heart problems—and even shorten your pet’s life.
Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented!
The professional dentistry services at Unleashed Veterinary Care include both routine preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:
- Bad breath
- Excessive drooling
- Dropping food
- Sudden disinterest in chew toys
- Loss of appetite
- Swollen or painful face
- Pawing at the mouth
- Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
- Gums that are red, swollen, or bleeding
If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s time to book a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one.
You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Unleashed Veterinary Care can help get you there!
