Fresh As a Daisy?

Have you noticed your pet’s breath not smelling as fresh as it used to? This is often a first indicator of dental disease. But there are other more subtle signs to watch out for. Cats may exhibit increased drooling. Both cats and dogs can exhibit reluctance to eat or play with toys, “chattering” of the teeth when trying to eat, lethargy, bleeding gums, eroded teeth, and failing to groom (cats).

Infected gums and teeth aren’t just a problem in the mouth — the heart, kidneys, intestinal tract, and joints may also be infected. The tartar and any infected areas of the mouth contain a multitude of bacteria than can ‘seed’ to other parts of the body. With regular dental care, you can prevent some of these more serious side effects.

Dental disease progresses in stages — if caught early, you can prevent further damage and save as many teeth as possible. Take advantage of our Dental Health Special this month!
