Dental health is more than just fresh breath — it’s vital for your pet’s overall wellbeing.

Sometimes, bad breath in dogs is considered normal, but if you’ve ever experienced a toothache or cavity, you understand how uncomfortable and painful it can be. Pets feel that discomfort too, even if they can’t express it.

The accumulation of plaque and tartar can result in painful gum disease, tooth loss, and can even impact vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, potentially exacerbating other health issues.

Periodontal disease is the most common clinical condition found in dogs and cats. Four out of five pets over the age of three will exhibit signs of dental and gum disease.

Typical indicators of dental disease include:

• Yellow or brown tartar buildup on the teeth
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Foul breath
• Excessive drooling
• Alterations in eating or chewing behaviour
• Pawing at the face
• Loose teeth
• Signs of depression

Even if your dog or cat does not display these symptoms, we advise having a veterinarian assess your pet’s dental health at least once a year.

Our dental services encompass professional cleaning, polishing, and extractions if necessary — all aimed at keeping those tails wagging and smiles bright.
