Is bad breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must just learn to live with. In fact, it’s likely a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist.

Without appropriate care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your pet’s life.

The good news is, with the right support, this can all be avoided.

The professional dentistry services at Royal Oaks Veterinary Hospital 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 exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to book an appointment. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the chances of a positive prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round.

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Royal Oaks Veterinary Hospital can help get you there!
