Dentistry

Does your pet’s breath leave a lot to be desired?

Contrary to popular belief, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your loved one could use a visit to the dentist. 

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

The good news is, with the right support, this can easily be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Clyde’s Animal Clinic include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some common 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 you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the chances of a good prognosis. We’ll also show you ways to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close cuddles and kisses with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Clyde’s Animal Clinic can help get you there!
