If bad breath makes your pet positively un-kissable, then it's time to schedule a dental cleaning today.
Bad breath may mean there is an issue with your pet’s teeth and gums. But it may also be a sign of a more serious medical condition. If dental issues are left untreated, your pet may be at risk for problems in their mouth (periodontitis) or with internal organs (heart disease). The challenge most pet owners face is that even if their pet’s breath smells fine, some dental conditions can still be present because they are so are hard to spot. Dental disease is the most common disease in dogs and cats, affecting 78% of dogs and 68% of cats over the age of three.
Early preventive measures, such as at-home care and in-clinic teeth cleanings will help to reduce the frequency and severity of dental disease later in life. At our hospital, we will perform a comprehensive examination of your pet’s teeth and gums. Just like when you visit your dentist, we use special tools to remove tartar from below the gum line and smooth the surface of each tooth to prevent tartar buildup.
The whole month of February, we are running special promotions on our dental procedures with discounts up to $143! Call for more details and to schedule your pet's appointment today, and be sure to visit Ora's Dental Day and PK's Dental Day to see exactly what is done when we perform a dental!

February is National Pet Dental Health Month Good oral health is more than just a pretty smile. Poor dental hygiene can put both your pet’s health and your pocket book at risk. “Dog breath” – or a cat with a foul-smelling mouth – can be a sign of untreated dental conditions. If left untreated, it may put your pet at risk for greater problems such as periodontitis or heart disease. Routine cleanings can help prevent periodontal disease and save money in the long run. A 2014 analysis conducted by Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. showed that the average cost per pet to prevent dental disease is just one-third of the average cost of treating dental disease. More importantly, a complete oral examination can detect hidden health problems. Even if your pet’s breath smells fine, there still could be dental conditions that are hard to spot without a complete veterinary exam. Schedule your pet’s dental checkup with us now. We’ll do a thorough checkup to make sure your pet is at optimum health. We also can show you how to brush your pet’s teeth in between exams. Brushing is the single most effective thing you can do to keep your pet’s teeth healthy between dental cleanings. We’re committed to your pet’s health and wellness, and we know that you are as well. The whole month of February, we are running special promotions on our dental procedures with discounts up to $143! Call for more details and to schedule your pet's appointment today! |
