Dental Care
Home dental care is essential in maintaining the health of your pet. Dogs and Cats teeth should be brushed daily if possible. Some pets will not allow their owners to brush their teeth. For those pets, we can make recommendations for supplements and dental chews to help with dental care. It is best to get your pet accustomed to daily teeth brushing when they are very young. They are more likely to accept it as part of their routine. Never use human toothpaste to brush a pets teeth. Pet toothpaste is available is a variety of flavors and is safer and more palatable for your pet.
We routinely check your pet's teeth and gums for periodontal disease, masses, or other problems of the oral cavity at every visit. We will make recommendations about professional dental cleanings/periodontal treatments as needed.
